M33 is much harder to photograph than M31 especially in metro Boston with heavy light pollution. This one was stacked from 358 frames (23m 52s total exposure time) at 135mm F/5.6 with 2x drizzle and cropped 2:1.
Even in dark skies, this is a difficult naked eye object given its low surface brightness. However, we could see it fine with the naked eye from Eaglet Lake. Once spotted, it reveals that we are seeing it in ehough of a plan view to easily make out its spiral arms pinwheeling around the brighter core. Larger telescopes can bring out much more detail than seen here. In 2007, the largest stellar mass black hole yet detected, some 16 times as massive as our sun, was discovered at the center of M33.

M33 also known as the Triangulum Galaxy and is about 3 million light years away. Image consists of 18x300s lights, plus darks, bias, and flats. Special thanks to Joe from Dark Arts Astrophotography for processing the data. Check his blog out at darkarts-astrophotograpy.blogspot.ca
At 2.9 million light years away the Triangulum Galaxy is the next closest spiral galaxy to us. It is part of the Local Group of Galaxies, which the Milky Way is a part of.
It's a bit better than the previous shot of this galaxy - but then it was done differently - with a much larger telescope. This time - my 8-inch Meade SCT. Still some of that glow thyat you see is not just from the nebulosity in the galaxy - it's light pollution. I still want to do this out in the hills away from all that. Too cold now, though.
This image is a blend of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer's M33 image and another taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. M33, one of our closest galactic neighbors, is about 2.9 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum, part of what's known as our Local Group of galaxies.
Together, the Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Spitzer can see a broad spectrum of sky. Spitzer, for example, can detect mid-infrared radiation from dust that has absorbed young stars' ultraviolet light. That's something the Galaxy Evolution Explorer cannot see. This combined image shows in amazing detail the beautiful and complicated interlacing of the heated dust and young stars. In some regions of M33, dust gathers where there is very little far-ultraviolet light, suggesting that the young stars are obscured or that stars further away are heating the dust. In some of the outer regions of the galaxy, just the opposite is true: There are plenty of young stars and very little dust.
Far-ultraviolet light from young stars glimmers blue, near-ultraviolet light from intermediate age stars glows green, near-infrared light from old stars burns yellow and orange, and dust rich in organic molecules burns red. The small blue flecks outside the spiral disk of M33 are most likely distant background galaxies. This image is a four-band composite that, in addition to the two ultraviolet bands, includes near infrared as yellow/orange and far infrared as red.

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 (many of which are actually foreground stars in our own galaxy), while dust in the spiral disk of the galaxy glows pink and red. 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 composite image was taken by Spitzer's infrared array camera. The color blue indicates infrared light of 3.6 microns, green shows 4.5-micron light, and red 8.0 microns.

I was curious as to what the difference would be tonight as far as detail vs star size in sub length tonight as I imaged so in addition to my normal 1200sec subs, I shot an 1800s and a 900s sub as well.
These are the single, unprocessed subs. All I have done is adjust the black point so the background is the same level on all 3 for comparison's sake. No other processing or stretching was done.
On a side note, I got 5 hrs worth of Luminance data on this tonight. Will process hopefully tomorrow.

M 33 is a spiral galaxy approximately 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. The galaxy is also sometimes informally referred to as the Pinwheel Galaxy by some amateur astronomy references. M 101 also is known as the Pinwheel Galaxy.

The Triangulum galaxy, named for its location in the constellation Triangulum, is the 2nd-nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way, after the Andromeda galaxy (M31). It’s about 2.7 million light-years away
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 is a spiral galaxy about 3 million light year away. Very big and quite bright. Can been seen in a small binoculars in dark skies.

I used about twenty 30 second exposures to make this.
It was quite a revelation when Deep Sky Stacker had finished as I wasn't able to see ANYTHING resembling a galaxy in the original photos, and when DSS was done there was still nothing. I did begin to wonder if I'd missed it completely or if it was too dim, but then I twiddled one of the knobs and out popped a galaxy!
The Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M33 or NGC598 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Triangulum. It lies only about 2,8 million light years away and is a member of the Local Group of galaxies, where also the Milky Way is. Because of its small distance, it's one of the brightest galaxies in the night sky. When you are far from cities in a place with almost no light pollution, you can see it even with the naked eye - in this case, it's the furthest object visible without a telescope. It is possible, that this galaxy is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy, but it's not still clear. It has about 60 thousand light years across and includes over 40 billion stars.
I took this image with a borrowed telescope Vixen 81S, which has excellent optics and doesn't need any coma corrector. It's only a side product from that night, when I tried to take my first asteroid (but haven't processed it yet), and in addition, I took it, when I was sleeping. I just left it in my backyard, because I had been so exhausted. 😅 So pretty happy with this image, there are crazy details, although it is made only from 2 hours of data!

Galáxia do triângulo (M33). É uma galáxia em espiral que fica relativamente próxima de Andrômeda no céu. Essa galáxia tem muitas áreas recheadas de h-alpha, ou seja: muitas estrelas estão nascendo por ali! Um dia ainda farei sua captura usando um filtro h-alpha para destacar essas áreas de nebulosa.

A deep astrophotography capture of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), taken with a Newton 130/900 telescope over 12 hours of exposure across three clear summer nights in 2025. This image reveals the intricate spiral arms, star-forming regions glowing in pink, and the delicate structure of dust and gas that give the galaxy its luminous texture. M33, located about 2.7 million light-years away, is the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies after Andromeda and the Milky Way.
