Description

M33 Pinwheel galaxy, aka Triangulum galaxy. It is the third largest galaxy in our Local Group and lies about 3 million light years away with a diameter of 60,000 light years. M33 is approaching us at the rate of 182 km/sec. It has a black hole, named M33 X-7 which orbits a companion star, but not a central, massive black hole.

Not much data, and taken nearly full moon, but there have not been any clear nights, for more that a few hours, in over a month here. So, I'm processing what I can.
