The Triangulum Galaxy (M33)

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 32 x 300s exposures, captured using a ZWO ASI071MC Pro colour camera attached to a Altair Wave 115ED telescope with 0.79x focal reducer and an Altair Quad-Band filter. The separate exposures were captured using Sequence Generator Pro and then stacked and processed using Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop CC.
