The "Post a random photo that you took" thread has faded away so putting this in a new thread. This is kinda version 0.9 as I have a little more editing to do but thought I'd post as doubt the improvement I hope for will show online.
This is the Triangulum Galaxy, AKA M33. It's radius is bout 30,000 light years and it's 2.7 million light years away. But it's closing "fast". Headed for the Milky Way at 62,000 MPH.
For the 2 or 3 who might be interested, this is just under 3 hours of exposure - 34x5 minute exposures. My scope has an effective focal length (in camera lens terms) of 537mm @ f4.6. Shot at ISO1600 but should have probably dropped that back to 800 as it was plenty bright but had lots of noise, some of which is still evident.
