Triangulum Galaxy

Take a trip with me 2.73 Million Light Years away to one of the three local Galaxies, the Triangulum Galaxy. The other two local Galaxies are the Andromeda Galaxy and our Milky Way Galaxy. Triangulum's beautiful spirals are indications that it hasn't had interactions with nearby galaxies. Have you ever seen something coming at you and there was nothing you could do about it? Well, here it is, both Triangulum Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy are moving towards our own Milky Way. 4 Billion years from now, both these galaxies will fill our entire night sky as Andromeda Galaxy swallows both the Milky Way Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. Since Triangulum Galaxy is about half the size of the Milky Way, it doesn't stand a chance against the giant Andromeda Galaxy, either does the Milky Way for that matter.

I captured this data using Red, Green, Blue and Luminance filters over 2 nights 8/22/2022 and 8/24/2022 at my Astronomy Clubs dark sky property, San Diego Astronomy Association (SDAA) at Tierra Del Sol. I camped there overnight on both nights.
22 Exposures 10 minutes each, unguided, Luminance = 3hours 40 min
12 Exposures 10 minutes each, unguided, Red = 2 hours
10 Exposures 10 minutes each, unguided, Green = 1 hours 40 min
11 Exposures 10 minutes each, unguided, Blue = 1 hours 50 min
Total Exposure 9 hours 10 min

I invite you to look at the full resolution image at the star background. It is amazing how many galaxies are there. The spiral ones on end are the easiest to identify. There is a real cool string of galaxies, right above my watermark. It starts with (Principal Galaxy Catalog) PGC73986. It is amazing, make sure you load the full res, then fit to window, then click where PGC73986, it is really cool.

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.
