Triangulum Galaxy

This is the Triangulum Galaxy [M33, NGC 598] which is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum and is about 60,000 light years in diameter. It is the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.

I imaged this over several nights, collecting over 12 hours of images, integrating 8.5 hours of images.
