Description (Wikipedia)The
Triangulum Galaxy is a
spiral galaxy 2.73 million
light-years (ly) from Earth in the
constellationTriangulum. It is catalogued as
Messier 33 or
NGC 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the
Local Group of galaxies, behind the
Andromeda Galaxy and the
Milky Way. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the
naked eye.The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group (although the smaller
Large and
Small Magellanic Clouds may have been spirals before their encounters with the Milky Way), and is believed to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy or on its rebound into the latter due to their interactions, velocities, and proximity to one another in the night sky. It also has an
H IInucleus.
Personal noteMy first HRGBL picture, providing new processing challenges. Two things I still need to improve are the a) sharper larger stars and reducing the glow in the left bottom corner.
WorkflowPixinsight: WBPP, NormalizedScaleGradient, RGB combi, BG & Color calib, curves, EZ denoise, crisping up and adding Lum and using pixelmath "max" function to weave in the Ha to get the nice red "pearls".
Please let me know your feedback and your suggestions on how to improve further. Thank you!
