The pinwheel galaxy in Triangulum. Seeing was good on this night, very transparent and no dew. In processing this image, I performed reduction and initial alignment with CCD Soft, levels and curves in Photoshop, LRGB alignment and hot / cold pixel cleanup using Picture Window. I took my usual 60 second unguided shots. This subject is really too big for my setup and could have been composed better had I rotated the camera. As noted below, I've been tweeking collimation for several weeks now, getting pretty close I think, stars on the edges show much less coma now.
