Galaxie du Triangle

Charles Messier catalogued it in 1764; at magnitude 5.7, it can be seen with the naked eye under a very dark, very clear sky. It spans 70.8 arcminutes by 41.7, more than the field of view of the eQuinox 2: its bluish, mottled disc fills almost the whole frame. To the left of the core, the small bright patch is NGC 604, its largest star forming region, nearly 1,500 light-years across.
