M33 Triangulum Galaxy

The Triangulum Galaxy (also known as Messier M33) is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy and about 30 other smaller galaxies. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye. This image is the result of 10 x 300s exposures, captured using a QHY8L attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro and processed using Nebulosity 3 and Photoshop CS6.
