Description

M33 is the third largest galaxy in our Local Group. Aka Pinwheel galaxy. It lies 3.1 million light years from Earth. Its angular diameter is 50,000 - 60,000 light years. An average sized spiral galaxy.

I'm still learning the characteristics of this new camera. Its higher sensitivity and full well capacity allow for shorter subs to avoid star clipping. I found the optimum exposures, but combined previous experiments into the data using HDRCombination. Hope you like.
