Description

The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy some 2.7 million light years from us in the constellation of Triangulum.
It is c. 61,000 light years in diameter and so a fair bit smaller than our Milky Way.

This seems to be a very faint target and the seeing was poor in the first three sessions.
Used the L-Pro filter on the last 2 sessions and the other 2 session with no filter.
This was hard to process to get any definition in the galaxy arms.
I have processed this so many times and have never been happy with it until now.
