Description

With a diameter of about 60,000 light-years and including around 40 billion stars, the Triangulum galaxy (M33 or NGC 598) is the third largest member of the Local Group of galaxies. It is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum.

This is my second capture of this beautiful spiral galaxy - last year's effort was one of my first with my mono camera...hopefully a year on, some improvement can be seen in terms of capture skill and processing!

Captured with APT, pre-processed with APP and post-processed with Pixinsight. This is a heavy crop of the original image, which I will look to include as an intermediate image.

Thank you for looking!
