The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years (ly) from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598. With a diameter of 61,100 light-years, the Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. This is my first photo with the new telescope: Newton Tecnosky Carbon 200/800. I collected 18 hours of broadband signal and 9 hours with the Ultimate filter, under the skies of the Italian mountains. My aim was to highlight the beautiful and numerous hydrogen and oxygen nebulae that characterize this subject. Therefore, I invite you to zoom in on the image and literally fly into it, to enjoy the profound details of the entire galaxy.
