M33

Updated: 6.29.02

This is the famous Triangulum Galaxy. It is very large and can be seen by the naked eye on very dark nights. It is easily seen in binoculars, but due to low surface brightness, is sometimes more difficult to see in a telescope! This was also imaged at f/2.5 due to the size (still didn't fit!). As a result, there's coma on stars towards the outer edge of the image (most obvious towards the top right).
