M33 - Triangulum galaxy - Ha version

Here is a version of M33, the triangulum galaxy with a hygrogen alpha layer brought by my friend Hugo. You can view my friend work on his Instagram page, thanks to him for his help in this collaboration. We have mostly the same gear, so, making an HaRGB composition wasn't a big deal. We look forward to make more collaborations of this kind to achieve better results in our respective astrophotography.
