Description

This galaxy remains low in altitude for us but wanted to give it a try so imaged over 2 nights. It appears to have a lot of new stars and some h-alpha. This is only an RGB capture so an H-alpha would bring out more - perhaps on another occasion....

The Spiral galaxy M33 is located in the triangle-shaped constellation Triangulum, earning it the nickname the Triangulum galaxy. About half the size of our Milky Way galaxy. It is cca 2.7m LY away.
