Tried to capture Triangulum galaxy (M33) without a telescope or proper tracking equipment.
Eagle eyed people with perfect vision and under extremely dark skies (under 3 in Bortle scale) are said to be able to see this object with a naked eye. M33 is 2.7 million light years away and so it is the farthest object visible to a naked eye (although it has to be a perfectly good eye).
It was quite a challenge capturing it as I was no where near dark skies, and M33 is rather difficult to locate blindly with a cheap 55-300 mm F5.8 lens. There are no really bright stars nearby, so it took quite some effort and time to frame it. After couple of shots the sky rotated too much and the framing procedure had to be redone again. A lot of trial and error with way too many bad shots with galaxy out of frame, ruined by flyby satellites, or fogged lens. Eventually I only managed to capture 7 useful (in frame and clear) light shots 80 seconds each.

Original caption: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope brings the vastness of space into perspective in this mosaic image of the Triangulum galaxy (M33), our neighbor in a collection of dozens of galaxies called the Local Group.
The unprecedentedly detailed portrait of Triangulum is composed of 54 Hubble fields of view stitched together, revealing nearly 25 million individually resolved stars. The borders of individual Hubble images trace the jagged edge of the mosaic, which spans 19,400 light-years across. Striking areas of star birth glow bright blue throughout the galaxy, particularly in beautiful nebulas of hot, ionized hydrogen gas like star-forming region NGC 604 in the upper left.
Triangulum is oriented with its face toward us, ideal for studying the distribution of stars and gas in its well-defined spiral structure. While astronomers are still delving into the immense trove of data collected by Hubble, a few characteristics stand out immediately, inviting key comparisons and contrasts with our own Milky Way galaxy and the third large spiral in the Local Group, the Andromeda galaxy.
"My first impression on seeing the Hubble images was, wow, that really is a lot of star formation," said astronomer Julianne Dalcanton of the University of Washington in Seattle, who led the project. "The star formation rate intensity is 10 times higher than the area surveyed in the Andromeda galaxy in 2015."
Astronomers think that Triangulum has been an introvert, avoiding disruptive interactions with other galaxies, instead spending the eons tending its well-ordered spiral and turning out new generations of stars. Further research may determine if Triangulum is actually a newer member of the Local Group of galaxies, and perhaps its quiet days will soon be over.
This mosaic was created from images taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys between February 2017 and February 2018.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy in Washington, D.C.

Original caption; The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile has captured this beautifully detailed image of the galaxy Messier 33, often called the Triangulum Galaxy. This nearby spiral, the second closest large galaxy to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is packed with bright star clusters, and clouds of gas and dust. This picture is amongst the most detailed wide-field views of this object ever taken and shows the many glowing red gas clouds in the spiral arms with particular clarity.

Except for debris, the nomenclature used is my own invention, as no work has ever been published detailing the stellar halo of this galaxy. In fact, many details are unpublished.
This image offers a good overview of the main structures on the disc and the external halo of Triangulum (M33).
The disc appears quite regular and there is an abundant presence of young stars, gases and dusts. The small bulge is dominated by an older population. The external halo presents various irregularities and thickenings that we can consider as vestiges of dwarf galaxies progressively incorporated by the greater galaxy, as foreseen by the growth models. This process is still ongoing.
Here's my composite picture of the Perseid meteor shower Wednesday night. It's a fairly small section of sky, but includes the darker part of the Milky Way passing through the left side of the frame, the Andromeda Galaxy towards the top, and the Triangulum Galaxy is an even smaller spot near the middle.
This image captured by NASAs Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows of one of our closest neighboring galaxies, Messier 33. Also named the Triangulum Galaxy (after the constellation its found in), M33 is one of largest members in our small neighborhood of galaxies -- the Local Group. The Local Group consists of about 30 galaxies that are gravitationally bound and travel together through the Universe. M33 is the third largest member of the Local Group, dwarfed only by the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and our very own home galaxy, the Milky Way.
M33 is extremely close as far as galaxies go, residing only 3 million light years away. Its proximity, along with it being conveniently tilted towards Earth (about 54 degrees to the line of sight), make it very easy for astronomers to study in detail. The infrared images that WISE produces contribute to astronomers overall understanding of a variety of processes happening in the galaxy. Areas in the spiral arms that are hidden behind dust in visible light shine through brightly in infrared light, showing where clouds of cool gas are concentrated. Star-forming regions are easy to spot in infrared (green and red areas in this image). Notice that there isnt a lot of star formation occurring near the center of M33. It would be difficult to deduce this lack of activity in the core by only looking a visible light image, where the core appears to be the brightest feature. This infrared image also shows that the galaxy is surprisingly bigger than it appears in visible light. The cold dust seen by WISE extends much further out from the core than anticipated.
The bright yellow-orange blobs scattered throughout M33 are areas where stars are forming at an especially intense rate. The largest one in the spiral arm to the upper left has its own name, NGC 604. Its an H II region -- an area of gas that is being heated and ionized by powerful young stars recently born inside of it. The Orion Nebula is an example of a nearby H II region within our own Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 604, however, is the largest such region in the entire Local Group of galaxies. It is over 40 times larger than the Orion Nebula and much brighter. If NGC 604 were at the same distance from Earth as the Orion Nebula it would be the brightest object in the night sky (besides the Moon).
M33 is over 50,000 light years across (about half the size of the Milky Way). Because it is so close it appears quite large to us, covering a piece of sky nearly 4 times bigger than the full Moon. Its relatively low surface brightness makes it difficult for human eyes to see, however. Even so, under exceptionally dark skies it can be seen with the unaided eye, making it one of the furthest objects visible without a telescope.
These images were made from observations by all four infrared detectors aboard WISE. Blue and cyan represent infrared light at wavelengths of 3.4 and 4.6 microns, which is primarily light from stars. Green and red represent light at 12 and 22 microns, which is primarily light emitted from warm dust.

I was testing MaxIm DL and despite a definite degree of added complexity over Nebulosity2+PHDGuiding+DSS, the overall experience was pretty convincing, especially when cycling thru filters for an almost even amount of light per channel during the night.
Here's the result of almost seven hours of total exposure (L 100 min, Ha 120min, RGB 60 min each) shows the glowing hydrogen nebulae in and around the relatively bright galactic disk.

One of our closest galactic neighbors shows its awesome beauty in this new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is a member of what's known as our Local Group of galaxies. Along with our own Milky Way, this group travels together in the universe, as they are gravitationally bound. In fact, M33 is one of the few galaxies that is moving toward the Milky Way despite the fact that space itself is expanding, causing most galaxies in the universe to grow farther and farther apart.
When viewed with Spitzer's infrared eyes, this elegant spiral galaxy sparkles with color and detail. Stars appear as glistening blue gems (several of which are actually foreground stars in our own galaxy), while dust rich in organic molecules glows green. The diffuse orange-red glowing areas indicate star-forming regions, while small red flecks outside the spiral disk of M33 are most likely distant background galaxies. But not only is this new image beautiful, it also shows M33 to be surprising large - bigger than its visible-light appearance would suggest. With its ability to detect cold, dark dust, Spitzer can see emission from cooler material well beyond the visible range of M33's disk. Exactly how this cold material moved outward from the galaxy is still a mystery, but winds from giant stars or supernovas may be responsible.
M33 is located about 2.9 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. This is a three-color composite image showing infrared observations from two of Spitzer instruments. Blue represents combined 3.6- and 4.5-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer.
Attendees of the Peyton Rhodes Lecture Series were treated to a preview unveiling of this image at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, and will be on display as an addition to the "From the Earth to the Universe" image exhibition at the Memphis Public Library.

Some info ℹ️👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598. The Triangulum Galaxy 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.
The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and it is believed to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy due to their interactions, velocities, and proximity to one another in the night sky. It also has an H-II nucleus.

Messier 33 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum.
This image was taken with a filter that only passes light from ionized hydrogen and oxygen.
Horizontally oriented overview.
The yellow ones are the Milky Way Galaxy and its satellites; the green ones are the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and its satellites; the blue pair are the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) and its possible satellite; and the red/orange ones are miscellaneous Local Group galaxies that are not believed to be bound to any of the three spirals.
My M33 project has gained a bit in terms of calibration frames and processing methods using Maxim DL and GIMP. Only actual light addition is two hours of hydrogen alpa.
Here I'm using a synthetic luminance of all the exposure stacks combined, and boosted the red channel with narrowband hydrogen alpha using a simple filter(Red/Ha)*Ha method before combining the LRGB frame. A bit of post-processing in GIMP provided the rest. Oh, how I wish I had a proper 16bpc or more photo-editing SW.
Summer camping trip to great skies.

This is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years away. Some call it the Pinwheel Galaxy. It is the 3rd largest galaxy in our neighbourhood (The Local Group), and is dwarfed only by our Milky Way, and Andromeda.
When we took this, it was a particularly dark night, however AGAIN the noise of our POS camera defeated us... Still, this galaxy does contain some very nice arms that are distinctly visible.

Triangulum Galaxy (M33)
A composite of 60xL 20xR 40xG 60xB thirty second exposures thru my Orion 80mm Short Tube telescope using my Meade DSI Pro imager. The individual captures were calibrated using bias frames, dark frames and flat frames and then stacked and processed using Stark Labs' nebulosity and Adobe's Photoshop software. The telescope was guided during the exposures by a Meade LX200 telescope with a Meade DSI imager driven by Stark Lab's PHD autoguiding software. All light frames were taken through a set of Meade LRGB CCD filters. Light frames were imaged on October 31, 2008 between 12:35 AM and 2:35 AM near Ellenville, NY. The total exposure was 90 minutes.
