Description

Information taken from Wikipedia:
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellationTriangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC (New General Catalogue) 598. With the D25 isophotal diameter of 18.74 kiloparsecs (61,100 light-years), the Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.

This is my first attempt at this object in LRGB. It was a nice capture however, I rarely do well with RGB filter, perhaps I use too long of an exposure time. I have seen others using the 300 sec exp time and their images seem to turn out well. I just need more time with PixNsight processing, ugh. So much to learn there. 

It was a learning experience to say the least and I keep it fun regardless.
