Triangulum Galaxy Revisited

Here's my recent shot of the Triangulum Galaxy which has been reporeccesed by Bob Stuart to bring out a lot more detail.  He's a real astromagician!

The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It is catalogued as Messier 33 or NGC 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, behind the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed with the naked eye.

The galaxy is the smallest spiral galaxy in the Local Group and is believed to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy or on its rebound into the latter due to their interactions, velocities, and proximity to one another in the night sky. It also has an H II nucleus.

The Orion Nebula Reprocessed

I have a new found friend and astro-mentor called Bob Stuart, who I met this year via Facebook in one of the astronomy groups.  Bob very kindly agreed to process one of my shots early shots and since then we've often chatted online, taken part in Leigh Astro Society Zoom meetings and I even bought my MGEN-II standalone guider off him. 

Whenever I moan about the difficulties I'm having in processing shots Bob always wants to have a go at processing it for me - lovely chap! So here's his version of my recent Orion Nebula shot.  It took about three processed versions to het to this but I think you'll agree it's better than anything I've produced by myself.

One day I hope to be able to process all my own shots, but for now it's good to see that my equipment is capable of getting some decent results.
