M33 The Triangulum Galaxy more or less done





Well after three laborious nights I am ready to post the sum of my work on the Triangulum galaxy cataloged by Charles Messier as M33. This face on spiral weighs in at around magnitude 5.7 (mag) but since it is face on it is much more difficult to view with the eye in the scope unless you are under dark skies. The camera however has no real problem. The data collected for this image is around 1hour 20 min.
