Messier 33 LRGB

The Triangulum Galaxy, Messier 33 or NGC 598, is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years distant and located in the constellation of Triangulum. It is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye. This was one I wasn't going to post because it had the biggest donut which stuck out a mile but it was a heck of a lot of data to dump. Hopefully I have picked up a way of removing donuts in Pixinsight. Imaged over 2 nights the 7th and 21st September 2019.
