Description

The Triangulum Galaxy, cataloged as Messier 33 or NGC 598, is a spiral galaxy 2.7 million light years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye under exceptional seeing conditions and no light pollution. M33 is a beautiful spiral galaxy loaded with 292 pink nebula (HII star forming regions). The largest nebula is NGC 604 which can be seen is a 6" telescope. Since I started imaging I have been fascinated by nebula in other galaxies. Being able to actually see one visually through an eyepiece is truly amazing.
