  1. Il VLT punta l'obiettivo sulla vicina Galassia del Triangolo

    #m33 @astronomia

    Una nuova immagine ravvicinata della galassia del Triangolo, ripresa dal Very Large Telescope (VLT) dell’ESO, mostra l’intreccio di gas e polvere che determina la nascita delle stelle e l’evoluzione delle galassie.

  2. Using a digital telescope this is my first photo of M33 using a few dozen stacked images over 30 minutes, and only in-app processing. It is not suppose to be AI enhanced. I really liked how easy it was to capture something that is so difficult to see with the naked eye.

  3. @PhilipPugh
    That's very good. I've had explained to me that M33 has a spread out and low surface brightness, explaining my difficulties in trying to observe it in the past.

    Here is a photo of #M33 I produced by stacking images from the #MicroObservatory archive. It's a more difficult target than you might suspect.

  4. This morning, as I emerge from a week of HMPV (a respiratory illness), I have an unusual (for me) treat.

    Last night, while I slept, I had my #Dwarf3 up on the patio roof just outside the door to the games room I am isolating in. The games room is elevated, so the patio roof is at eye level. This makes it perfect for putting the telescope on, and then crawling into bed. The downside is that the field of view is quite limited, as the games room roof overhangs the patio roof by a goodly amount.

    But the view to the North and East is not bad. And it turns out that, while Andromeda is blocked by the houses next door, #M33 is not.

    Now here in Perth, it does not get very far above the horizon at the best of times, but last night I managed to snag an hour and a half of it.

    (Edited to include what I've been sick with.)

    So here we are: The #TriangulumGalaxy , Dwarf3 #SmartTelescope . Postprocessed in the #DwarfLab #StellarStudio, #Snapseed, and #GooglePhotos

  9. #ZodiacalLight from #Oxfordshire, UK on 25th Feb '25. It's the faint triangle of light that extends up from #Venus to the Pleiades, caused by sunlight reflecting off #InterplanetaryDust. It's a challenge from here because of increasing light pollution. 39x25sec + 20 darks, Canon 1100D +10mm lens. #Jupiter, #Uranus, #M31 the #AndromedaGalaxy & #M33 the #TriangulumGalaxy are also visible in the image.

  10. ハッブルが星形成の中心を観察
    https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/hubble-peers-into-the-center-of-a-star-forming-powerhouse/

    NASAのハブル宇宙望遠鏡によるトライアングル銀河Messier 33(M33)の中心部への観測。M33は星の誕生が盛んで、他の銀河との相互作用が少ないため、急速な星の誕生は衝突によるものではないとされる。

  12. M33 - Triangulumgalaxy (reprocessed)
    Distance: 2.7 Mio. Lightyears

    20 lights / 5min each
    10 darks
    20 flats
    20 bias

    Camera: Canon EOS 1000D
    Telescope: Skywatcher 130 PDS

    I reprocessed my image from last week to give the galaxy more saturation. Now I really like the colors :)

  13. M33 Triangulum Galaxy

    Magnitude 5.72 spiral galaxy located 2.73 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. With a diameter of 61,100 light-years, it is the 3rd largest member of the Local Group, behind Andromeda and our Milky Way.
