M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) (By Michael Armentrout)
Well Here we have it a feat nonetheless in terms of time spent on a single photograph. M33 was first discovered as we know in 1764 by Charles Messier first identified as a nebula a star forming region within our own galaxy then 162 years later in 1926 Edwin Hubble discovered and identified that m33 and many others were not actually part of our own galaxy but are separated intergalactic systems containing their own unique processes. it is a wonder to behold how far we have come in the past 200 years with our understanding of our universe and in our technological advancements allowing everyone (Like me) to have the ability to capture these objects in all of their glory. This capture is special to me due to the sheer time spent of over 100 hours of integration but also because I took an unconventional approach of combining RGB and SHO together, something that a large portion of our community has advised against (For Galaxies) for one or other reasons. However this approach allows us to view and witness this object M33 the Triangulum Galaxy in all possible elemental constituents (Possible by the amature community) and a somewhat new way I say somewhat because I am not the first to do this but am one of only a few (So Far) Enjoy!
Some information from Wikipedia: 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 (New General Catalogue) 598. With the D25 isophotal diameter of 18.74 kiloparsecs (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.The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group (although the smaller Large and Small Magellanic Clouds may have been spirals before their encounters with the Milky Way), and is believed to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy or on its rebound into the latter due to their interactions, velocities, and proximity to one another in the night sky. It also has an H II nucleus.
