Description

The Triangulum Galaxy is a relatively close 2.7 million light years away and has a diameter of about 60,000 light years.  It is only 10%of the size as the  Milky Way, but still contains over 40 Billion stars.  This image is 8.5 hours of integration time using the L-Pro filter on my OSC camera.  I tried to preserve the natural star colors as much as possible which I feel helps gives the image a sense of depth.
