  6. M33 The Triangulum Galaxy

    in Deepsky

    Posted

    Good day to everybody,

     

    The Triangulum Galaxy (also known as M33) that is about 3 million light-years away from Earth.

     

    Under exceptionally good viewing conditions with no light pollution, the Triangulum Galaxy can be seen with the naked eye. It is one of the most distant permanent objects that can be viewed without the aid of a telescope.

    Being a diffuse object, its visibility is strongly affected by small amounts of light pollution. It ranges from easily visible by direct vision in dark skies to a difficult averted vision object in rural or suburban skies.

     

    With a diameter of about 60,000 light-years, the Triangulum galaxy is the third largest member of the Local Group of galaxies. It may be a gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda Galaxy

    The Triangulum galaxy may be home to 40 billion stars, compared to 400 billion for the Milky Way, and 1 trillion stars for Andromeda Galaxy.

     

    As mentioned above, M33 is linked to M31 by several streams of neutral hydrogen and stars, which suggests that a past interaction between these two galaxies took place from 2 to 8 billion years ago, and a more violent encounter will occur 2.5 billion years in the future.

    Studying M33 in infrared light, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) revealed hotspots of activity within the galaxy in 2011 while also showing that the center of the galaxy doesn't have much going on within it.

    NGC 7331 and Beyond

     

    NGC 7331 (also known as Caldwell 30) is a spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years (12 Mpc) away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784.NGC 7331 is the brightest member of the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies.

     

    The galaxy is similar in size and structure to the galaxy we inhabit, and is often referred to as "the Milky Way's twin", although recent discoveries regarding the structure of the Milky Way may call this similarity into doubt.

  14. Knowledge base for ASA mounts

    in Software

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I am living in Barcelona-Spain, I have no idea about Wiki and I am also busy at work, but If I can help to contribute my grain of sand, I will do it, because I have suffered a little during my setup with the ASA mount, I really have to say thank you to Antonio, without his help I couldn't have put my mount running, due to the lack of documentation.

     

    I still don't understand many issues of sequence and I hope with this encounter can be a help to all of us to transfer the knownledge.

     

    Best regards

    Luis

    Helloooo!!

     

    Here i post my las production.
