This is called the Triangulum Galaxy. It is over 2.5 million lightyears away from us and has about 40 billion stars. Our galaxy, the Milkyway, has about 400 billion stars by comparison.

I took three and a half hours of exposures using my Sky-Watcher 6 inch refractor telescope with a Zwo Asi2600mc camera.

The pink areas in the galaxy are nebulae which are always producing new stars.
