I followed pretty much the same workflow as in my M31 image, and this seemed to have less noise despite being less integration time and when compared to my last attempt at M33, this is a big improvement, both due to my processing getting better as well as the EAF being able to give me consistently focused stars all night.

I wasn't sure how it would turn out after my last attempt, but I'm very impressed with the detail in the arms and this is definitely going to be one my focuses once I either get a new camera or take my setup to Wales.

Some of the stars were hard to process compared to my M31 image but I think there were some clouds around at some point, as there is a weird gradient in the stack but I can't find anything in the individual images, but I think I managed to bring out their colour without over-doing them too much.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
