Description

Messier 33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, lives in the local group about 3 Million light-years away.   It's the local group's third largest member, but is quite a bit smaller than both the Milky Way and Andromeda.    It contains on the order of 40 Billion stars.   M33's motion is moving toward Andromeda, and will likely merge with the combination of our galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy in the distant future.

Description: SPCC & BXT linear deconvolution. I muted BXT to pretty minimal parameters as compared to other images I've done to try and constrain star clusters in the galaxy from worming.
