Many thanks for these spectacular images! You must be very happy to capture such images of our neighborhood.
I wonder if there is an explanation about the arms or wings that every galaxy has.

As a
Someone who has done astrophotography I know how hard these shots are.
Your tracking is spot on which shows in round stars to the edge.
Excellent work.
How did you track and which mount did you use?
Permanent pier?

I think that the spirals of the galaxies are formed by the greater rotational speed of the stars near the center of the galaxie required to balance the greater gravitational force that is created near the center of the galaxie. The spiral arms of the galaxies are probably held together by the gravitational forces in the arms.

Is it possible that there is a connection to the formidable power of the black hole?

Yes, there is a super massive black hole at the center of all galaxies, I think. There are also additional black holes in the galaxies. The largest black hole in the universe is estimated to have a mass equivalent of 66 billion suns and would be 40 times as wide as the orbit of Neptune if it were placed in our sun's position.

While the hydrogen alpha images may be of more scientific value, from an image standpoint I think the reds are a bit overblown.

I think I like the first image, without color enhancement, better.

Either way, a stunning effort.


Hi george19
Thanks for viewing the images of M33 and for the comment. The colors are a bit overdone in the last two but it was mainly to bring out the different areas of the galaxy.
