Description

Messier 33 (M33), also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is a famous spiral galaxy located in the small northern constellation Triangulum. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. It is also the second nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group.

I took this image with a TeleVue 85 mm scope. Unreal to me that such a tiny scope can catch sufficient photons in an evening with a total of only 1 hour integration to produce this image!
