Comments: This is image of the famous spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum. It was taken with a wider field of view thus showing the more peripheral portions or halo of this spiral galaxy. This image shows the star forming regions in M33 as pink areas. These are emission nebulae within M33; it amazes me that an amateur telescope can show these at a distance of 2.3 million light years! The blue areas are newly formed star regions.
