M33 - Triangulum Galaxy

The Triangulum Galaxy (M33)

 

A spiral galaxy that's part of our local group of galaxies (Milky Way, Andromeda and this one). This is my first attempt to image this amazing galaxy.

 

Tonight at work was a bit of an experiment, can you successfully pull pints, shake cocktails and photograph a galaxy 3 million light years way all from the same spot.

 

The answer is yes, but wooden decking is a nightmare for stability.

 

Experimenting and practicing before I do my star parties for "real" next week. Despite purposefully not advertising tonight, I still managed a crowd of people around me, quizzing me about space, it was rather fun!

 

This is a little rough, due to a lack of data 6x480s exposures in RGB, so noisy, and lacking the polish I plan to give this objects.
