Description

This is my fourth (or is it the fifth???) attempt at getting a good shot of M33. Each year it keeps getting better which is not all that hard because the earlier attempts were pretty bloody awful!
This was shot in LRGB + H from my remote observatory, most of it in one very long, exceptionally clear for here, long night!
The number of H-II regions you can see in this nearby galaxy is incredible and NGC 604 (that big nebula on the right) is said to be over 45 times bigger than the Orion Nebula in our galaxy!
