Description

With respect to the previously posted image, here stars taken with a Newtonian telescope were added (thanks Paolo!). I am an enthusiast of natural spikes on stars and now this M33 version is quite perfect, in my opinion.

Messier 33 (M33), also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is a famous spiral galaxy located in the small northern constellation Triangulum. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. It is also the second nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group. It lies at a distance between 2.38 and 3.07 million light years from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 5.72. Its designation in the New General Catalogue is NGC 598.
Charles Messier found the object independently and catalogued it on August 25, 1764.
