Description

M33, the Triangulum Galaxys one of the closest large galaxies to Earth. It’s located in the constellation Triangulum at a distance of about 2.5 million light years and has a diameter of around 60,000 light years. My first RGB image, taken in a Bortle 4 area; Borrego Springs, California, while attending a star party there in November, 2021. This was my first shot at an RGB image, and i'm pretty happy with it. 19 hrs integration and probably that much time processing!
I shot LRGB 5 min subs (94 total), and some Ha 10 min subs (15).  Did some interesting blending in Pixinsight to get this image.
