Description

Unfortunately the galaxy is bigger than the sensor field at that focal length, but I wanted to try and image a close-up of the Triangulum Galaxy, and after all most of it is on the pic.
Also not bad nebulosity wise, considered the short exposures and the limited total integration time.
It was an opportunity target after the Bubble Nebula imaged in the same night, so I started to take pics when it was at about 55 degrees over the horizon.
Also, at a focal length of about 1100 mm there is a fair number of discarded frames, so the total integrated time is way lower than the time dedicated to the subject.
Finally, I always find difficult to properly image or present M33 "zoomed-in": what I mean is that it looks better, "more like a galaxy", when smaller.
