Description

The weather finally cooperated and there was a moonless night, so I decided to point my Celestron RASA telescope towards the Triangulum Galaxy, Messier 33.

Although this galaxy is over 2.7 million light years away, it is one of the closest to the Milky Way. Due to its low surface brightness, a dark sky site is especially beneficial for imaging this object. Luckily, I was able to collect over 5 hours of data at f/2.
