The Triangulum Galaxy
The Triangulum Galaxy is the third largest member of our local cluster of galaxies. At three million light years distance, it is considered nearby on a full cosmic scale.
This neighbouring galaxy is quite different from ours. Note, in the image, several red blemishes. These are large star-forming areas that are different from those in our galaxy.
I photographed the Triangulum Galaxy from my garden in Strasbourg France on two nights: October 6, 2024 and December 27, 2024.
This is an ensemble of 75 images, where each is a three minute exposure (over 3.5 hours of total exposure).
