Description

A spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum, 3.2 million light-years distant and in the Local Group.  Sometimes referred to informally as the “Pinwheel Galaxy”.  The bright red emissions are from ionized hydrogen gas.  Also known as H⍺ regions, they are galactic nurseries from which new stars are being born.
The month was plagues by cloudy skies and a full moon so signal-to-noise is not very good.
