Just about six hours' worth of data on this galaxy used for this image! This was taken with my new ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera. Very pleased with the result.
M33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, is a nearby spiral galaxy located in the constellation Triangulum, about 2.73 million light-years from Earth. It is the third-largest member of the Local Group after the Milky Way and Andromeda and is characterized by its patchy spiral arms, containing numerous star-forming regions like the bright NGC 604 nebulae. M33 is a "pure disk galaxy" and lacks a central bulge and a supermassive black hole, a unique feature among large spiral galaxies.
