M33 Triangulum Galaxy - Stellina LIVE - Rooster Inn Observatory - 27 August 2022
Показать описание
"Spiral galaxy M33 is located in the triangle-shaped constellation Triangulum, earning it the nickname the Triangulum galaxy. About half the size of our Milky Way galaxy, M33 is the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies following the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and the Milky Way.
The Triangulum galaxy’s orderly spiral structure displays few signs of interactions with nearby galaxies. Only slightly farther away from us than the Andromeda galaxy, about 3 million light-years from Earth, M33 is a suspected gravitational companion to Andromeda, and both galaxies are moving toward our own. M33 could become a third party involved in the impending collision between the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies more than 4 billion years from now.
M33 has a relatively bright apparent magnitude of 5.7, making it one of the most distant objects that keen-eyed observers can view with the unaided eye (under exceptionally clear and dark skies). Although others may have viewed the galaxy earlier, Charles Messier was the first to catalog M33 after observing it in August 1764. In the 1920s, astronomer Edwin Hubble studied dozens of variable stars (those that periodically change brightness) in M33, which helped him to estimate the object’s distance and prove that M33 is not a nebula within our own galaxy, as previously suspected, but actually a separate galaxy outside our own."

The Rooster Inn Observatory resides in Bortle 4 country in Upstate New York, and provides LIVE video streaming of astrophotography of sun and moon, stars and planets, galaxies and nebulae, comets and satellites. Four telescopes make up the observatory:
(1) Celestron Edge HD 8-inch on a CGEM II mount with a Canon EOS Rebel SL3 for planetary observation,
(2) Vaonis Stellina all-in-one observation station,
(3) Lunt LS50T Ha solar telescope on a Celestron 8SE alt-az mount for sun gazing, and
(4) Canon EOS 50D with a stock 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens on the same Celestron 8SE alt-az mount point and shoot lazy imaging.
