Description

This is my first image of the Triangulum galaxy with my new camera, and the first time I've ever been able to fit the entire galaxy in one image. This image was taken through a 31mm Astronomik CLS-CCD filter as my luminance filter had not gotten here yet, so it was interesting to see how much light was cut by the filter. Overall I'm happy with this image for the amount of time I spent on it. I've had many cloudy nights here in San Marcos, Texas, but hopefully I get some more clear nights to keep imaging. This image was also one of the first images I took with the new camera, so I had to learn the intricacies of processing data from it. So far, the new camera has really delivered, and I am very happy with the sensitivity of the IMX294 sensor. I hope you like today's image, clear skies!
