Messier 33 in Triangulum is a beautiful galaxy 'only' 3 MLY from us.
Williams Optics 110 Refractor with FR0.8. Astro Phystics 1200 mount.
Canon 40D modified, 13x5min and 13x10 exposures ISO 1600.
With a diameter of about 50,000 light years, the Triangulum galaxy is the third largest member of the Local Group, a group of galaxies which also contains the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, and it may be a gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda Galaxy. Triangulum may be home to 40 billion stars, compared to 400 billion for the Milky Way, and 1000 billion stars for Andromeda.[:)]
- The Large Magellanic Cloud
Large Magellanic Cloud [LMC] is the third nearest galaxy to the Milky Way at a distance of 163,000 light-years. It has a diameter of about 14,000 light years and a mass of approximately 10 billion Suns, making it roughly 1/100 as massive as...
- Andromeda Galaxy M31
We finally have got some decent dark skies here in Norway. My first image this autumn is Andromeda - M31-M32- M110. The Andromeda galaxy is our nabour galaxy only 2.5 MLY away. It has trillions of stars and Magitude 4.4, you can see it easy with a binocular...
- Messier 33 - Ngc 598 In Triangulum.
In Triangulum the M33 galaxy is impressive. 2.8 MLY from us with Mag6,3.25x10 min, ISO 1600 with Celestron 80ED refractor, 600 mm, f7,5 with 0.8 reducer/flattener.Camera Canon 40D modified, guided with Stellarvue 200mm, f4 and NexImage....
- Cannibalism Among Galaxies
There was an old theory that described the most intriguing thing about galaxies and now it was proved, the theory that bigger galaxies try to feed on smaller galaxies when they come near, is no more an unproved theory but is a fact today. A recent study...
- Milkyway Galaxy
The Milky Way Galaxy, commonly referred to as just the Milky Way, or sometimes simply as the Galaxy, is the galaxy in which the Solar System is located. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the Local Group of galaxies. It is one of...
