Description

Here's an image of the Triangulum galaxy taken this past Sunday evening with my C14 telescope / ASI017 camera combo. Although this magnificent spiral pinwheel of stars is only about half the size of our own Milky Way galaxy, its relative closeness (2.7 million light years away!) in combination with the face-on orientation make it a great target for astrophotographers
