The Triangulum Galaxy - M33 - HOO+RGB - from Turin ITALY

After almost 4 years of ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY, I succeeded for the first time
to immortalize one of my favorite galaxies. Considering that I manage to capture it for just under 2 hours per evening (between the upstairs balcony and the neighbor's veranda) I am fully satisfied!
The Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M33 (object number 33 in Charles Messier's catalogue) and NGC 598, is an SA(s)cd-type spiral galaxy about 2.88 ± 0.90 million distant light years from Earth and is located in the constellation Triangulum.
The Triangulum Galaxy is the second closest non-dwarf galaxy to the Milky Way after the Andromeda Galaxy.
M33 was the targeted study object to test a new observation technology, developed specifically for the Webb Space Telescope, based on thousands of individually operable micro-shutters to sample individual celestial objects.
(The Shi'ar alien race, present in Marvel Comics, is native to the Triangle Galaxy)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
