Messier 33 in Triangulum
Messier 33 is the third-largest galaxy in the Local Group, after M31 and the Milky Way. It is 60,000 lightyyears in diameter and 2.3 million lightyears distant, so just a little farther away than M31 in Andromeda.
The image is the result of almost 3 hours of data capture, over two nights in September 2019.
