Description

M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, is part of the Local Group of galaxies. It is about 2.73 million light-years from Earth. It's diameter is about 60,000 light-years , a little more than half as large as our Milky Way Galaxy.

This image is a combination of data collected Dec 23, 2019, at the George Observatory in Brazos Bend State Park and Jan 15, 2021, at the HAS dark site near Columbus, Texas. The 2019 data was imaged using a 400mm Canon lens while the 2021 data was imaged with a StellarVue 80 Access refractor. Both sets of images were captured using a ZWO ASI294MC camera.

Total integration time was about 3 1/2 hours ( 45 min in 2019, 2 h 45m in 2021).

I am still developing a workflow for processing so I consider this a first effort that I hope to improve with future revisions.
