Despite the very short exposure time of just 75 minutes, I managed to capture this rather lovely image of the Triangulum Galaxy.
Messier 33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy or NGC 598, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum. At a distance of about 2.7 million light years, M33 is the third-closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Triangulum Galaxy (M32). The Triangulum Galaxy is about 60,000 light years across and contains a multitude of young, hot stars as well as glowing regions of gas and dust.
