M33: Triangulum Galaxy
In the northern constellation Triangulum, not far from Andromeda, is this spiral galaxy, M33, sometimes called the Pinwheel Galaxy. M33 is over 50,000 light-years in diameter, about 3 million light-years away.
This image was created with 177 60 second exposures, it was corrected with 48 dark frames, 61 flats and 84 bias exposures.
I shot it with an unmodified Nikon D7200 and a Nikkor 500 f4P ED all sitting on top of a Orion SkyView Pro.
You are reading that correctly, my camera was shooting photos for over 3 and a half hours to make this picture.
