The Triangulum Galaxy (known as Messier 33 or NGC 598) is a beautiful large spiral galaxy in the constellation of Triangulum. It can be (barely) seen with the unaided eye as a faint small smudge only under a truly dark, transparent sky. It is thus one of the most distant objects visible to the unaided eye, since its distance is calculated to be about 3 million light-years. However and due to its relatively large apparent size (almost as large as the area covered by four full Moons), it has a low surface brightness and therefore it is a difficult object to observe under less than ideal conditions.

 

M33's loosely-wound spiral arms are filled with numerous reddish HII regions (emission nebulae of ionized hydrogen), as well as bluish clouds of young stars. Many of them have their own NGC numbers, the most prominent being NGC 604 (visible at the lower left of the spiral at 8 o' clock position from the nucleus). NGC 604 has a diameter of nearly 1,500 light-years and is estimated that it contains at least 200 newly-formed hot stars.

 

The galaxy was probably discovered in the 17th Century by Giovanni Batista Hodierna and rediscovered later in 1764 by Charles Messier, who gave it the catalog name M33. It was among the first "Nebulae" identified as extragalactic objects and it was E. Hubble that measured its distance using pulsating stars known as Cepheids, that placed it well outside our own Milky Way.

 

M33 is the third-largest galaxy of the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy and our own Milky Way, with an estimated diameter of 50,000 light-years, about half the size of the Milky Way. Some astronomers believe that M33 may be a remote but gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda galaxy.

The Andromeda galaxy M31 and the Triangulum galaxy M33 are located almost equidistant but opposite directions from the star Beta Andromedae. Naturally these galaxies became targets on a December (2021) evening under clear Bortle 2-3 skies in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.

 

"A galáxia do Sombreiro (Messier 104, NGC 4594), é uma galáxia espiral com núcleo brilhante rodeado por um disco achatado de material escuro, que fica a 28 milhões de anos-luz de distância. Essa brilhante galáxia é conhecida como sombreiro devido a sua aparência característica que se assemelha a um chapéu. A galáxia possui uma magnitude aparente de +8,3". Fonte: Wikipedia.org

The Andromeda Galaxy also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.

The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at a trillion solar masses.

The number of stars contained in the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at one trillion, or roughly twice the number estimated for the Milky Way.

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in around 4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large lenticular galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 3.4, the Andromeda Galaxy is among the brightest of the Messier Objects making it visible to the naked eye from Earth on moonless nights, even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution.

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy May 2025

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is an asymmetrical, face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21.6 million light-years from Earth in Ursa Major. At 252,000 light-years across it is 70% larger than our own Milky Way galaxy, has a disk mass of over 100 billion solar masses and contains about a trillion stars.

In galaxy and nebulae

Mirrors the deep and lustrous

Kind of planet

Reflecting its alike twins

Already existing for trillion generations

The trillion light years beyond the universe and outer space

 

In galaxy and nebulae

Matters not a daytime or a night

The planets distributed the gravity without right or wrong

Flying stones, dusts and rocks drifting without gain or loss

Nebula alternating its light and dark in deep outburst

The instant birth and death of meteor’s collision

 

In galaxy and nebulae

Every moment is like this life

Setting forth the human in earth

The future is an unpredictable journey

Subsisting in a spacecraft with constant temperature

The heading direction beyond cold and hot

 

In galaxy and nebulae

Sperm and ovum combining the continuation of embryo

Youth withered in flight

Life a newborn in flight

Soaring further to a deep and gloomy milky way

The difference of love and hate gradually lost its remembrance

 

In galaxy and nebulae

The countless stars flashing high in universe

Dodging a farewell, separation is beyond the countless light years

Suddenly find one like the twin of earth

A new birth or a casting shadow?

The contradiction of lonesomeness and intimacy entangled in an encounter

The Andromeda galaxy, 2.5 million lightyears distant, the furthest object in the sky that can be seen with the naked eye. Contains more than 400 billion stars, the bright yellow core has most of the mass, consisting of the oldest yellow stars. The blue regions around the galaxy consist of younger hotter stars. The darker areas consist of dust and gas lanes tracing out the spiral arms of the galaxy. The galaxy is edge on with a slight tilt to our line of site, the warp in the galaxy stands out clearly, this is possibly due to gravitational interactions with the satellite galaxies, or nearby galaxies like M33 in Triangulum. Note the warp is in the outer regions of the galaxy, where the gravity is less strong. The two smaller satellite galaxies are gravitationally tied to Andromeda and interact with it.

Bortle class 6/7 skies.

Exposure time, 2hrs 42m 41s, 233 frames @ ISO 6400, 3200, 1600. Capture and processing time etc approx. 30hrs, several dozen subs were deleted due to slight tracking errors and light pollution, haze, fogging etc.

80mm F6 refractor

Fornax Lightrack mount unguided

Canon 760D, no filters were used.

Post processing in Lightroom and Canon DDP.

Subs collected over several nights in all conditions, ie dodging clouds and haze, moon present and only 3 clears nights with excellent seeing, but I could not dedicate all the time to M31, read on.

Due to the type of mount I use, I cannot track across the Zenith as my 500mm refractor hits against the Fornax drive, I would have to wait for 1 to 2 hours for the sky to move to the west allowing my scope to be set up on the other side of the mount. I would look at objects rising in the east until I could get back to M31 a while later.

 

Just pond reflections!

I will tell you what's missing.

Is it a trampoline in front, or a frisbee in the air? Or is it a ticket to Never Never Land, with non intended dread of being with someone who feels like a relative, but is not?

I will tell you what's missing.

It's a jump in the air that never comes back as a comet from Milky Way, but rather as hands holding and faces smiling, not as means of a travel trip conjunction, but rather a deep down love for THAT galaxy.

I will tell you what's missing.

Dreams.

The Andromeda galaxy, is the nearest neighbouring galaxy, to the milky way. Consisting of one trillion stars and 2.5 million light years distant, its immense gravity has the milky way locked in an irresistible pull toward its final destination, crashing into the Andromeda galaxy and being completely merged into the much bigger galaxy. M31 45 stack 20 sec iso 6400.
