Abstract M33 - The Triangulum

M33 - The Triangulum · **7 Likes**

I finally had a clear night last night, though seeing wasn't the greatest.

I decided to image the Triangulum Galaxy. I had only imaged this once before when I was first starting out. It turned out MUCH better than my last attempt.

This is an LRGB +Ha image

Lum= 80, 60 second images at Bin 1x1
Red= 80, 60 second images at Bin 2x2
Green= 80, 60 second images at Bin 2x2
Blue= 80, 60 second images at Bin 2x2
H-Alpha= 20, 180 second images at Bin 2x2

M33 is roughly 3,000,000 light years from Earth. It has huge regions of Ionized Hydrogen clouds that are star factories. They show up as the red area on this image. The Hydrogen regions are so large, some of the largest known, that they are easily visible from earth, which is very rare.

This is truly a magnificent photograph. Wonderful and very interesting to say the least. Thanks very much for posting.

Nice image. Looks like a spiral galaxy in the process of sorting itself out.

Incredible! I would love to take photos like this! I want to buy a fast telephoto prime and try it out with my astrotracer feature.. won't be as good as this though!

Wow! Real nice work!

Excellent image. The Ha stands out nicely, and contrasts well with the blue stars of the galaxy. Very pleasing colors. Thanks.

Wow, CJ, a real stunner. From my backyard on a clear night, I can just barely make out M33 with the naked eye.
