Description

The Triangulum Galaxy, a spectacular spiral galaxy and the third biggest in our local galaxy group, just behind the Milky Way and Andromeda. This is an amazing target for astrophotography, first because it’s big, second because we have a direct view from the top and this way we can see amazing details across the spiral arms, and third because of its Ha pockets that give that extra detail to the image.

In total I got over 22hours of integration time between several filters to create this HLRGB image.
