ASTRO: M33

M 33 - NGC 598
Triangulum
Penryn, California
October 2010
FS-128 @ f 6 (ag, ST-4)
ST-2000XM LRGB 10 minute subs

Described by Burnham as "...a challenging object for the small
telescope because of its great size and rather low surface
brightness....M33 is the nearest of the Sc spirals.." (Burnham).

M33 is at 3 million light years. The large HII region at the lower
center left is the largest known in any galaxy and has the designation
NGC 604.

I've imaged M 33 on at least three seperate occasion and have not been
satisfied with the final image, I find it to be a difficult object to
process.



NGC 604
Triangulum
Penryn, California
September 2008
M 250 @ f 9.3 (ag, ST-4)
ST-10XME LRGB 10 minute subs

An emission nebula located in the galaxy M 33. NGC 604 is the most
massive nebula known in any galaxy.

I only tried early in my digital career. I was pretty ignorant back
then on data collection. I'm not at all happy with it. Don't know if I
ever will be. Some HII regions came out blue rather than pink. Yours
came out well.

Glen,

I almost missed this picture as Outlook attached it to an older thread with
the same title.
Very nice image, and an impressive closeup of NGC 604.
