Triangulum Galaxy
      #3458181 - 11/20/09 03:18 AM

Hi again all!

No doubt you all know M33,but would you expect someone so far south to be shooting It? Well,I like galaxies and until I get a longer focal length scope my choices are limited so here It is.

Object: M33 (Triangulum)

Exposure: 10 minutes x 21 guided

Camera: SXVF-M25c

Telescope: FSQ106N

Software: AA4/CS4

Location: Yalbraith,N.S.W,Australia

Thanks for looking !

Hi Louie
Thats a great image, especially for the short exposure time and your location. You must have some really dark skies.

Louie,
I like the way that you imaged M33. I like the details in the arms, and the colors. That image came out great for being so south as you are.

Thanks Dug!
M33 sits at around 20deg from where I was shooting,so low but still very doable.
