Description

Finally had two nights to do this Galaxy some justice although the second night was during a full moon!  This is the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), a bright, face-on spiral galaxy. It is one of the most impressive and popular galaxies in the night sky for beginner amateur astrophotographers, like me. This galaxy lies almost 3 million light-years from Earth and is the third-largest member of our Local Group of Galaxies behind the Milky Way galaxy and Andromeda galaxy.
