Title: M33 - An Astrophotographer's Dream

Description: Deep within the spiral arms of nearby Galaxy M33 lie many emission nebulae just beckoning us to image them. One can only dream of the impressive images we could create if we were located in their vicinity. For now, we can just get an idea of their majestic beauty as can be seen in this image taken from Earth over several moonless nights in late August and early September. If you look closely, the sweeping arms are sprinkled with reddish clouds of Hydrogen II star forming regions. I've always been struck by the beauty of this galaxy which appears to be studded with sparkling jewels. All subexposures were taken when M33 had climbed high in the sky to an altitude greater than 60 degrees above the horizon. Be sure to zoom in for amazing detail.
