m31 m33 Wide Field

[renormalised (Carl)]

M33 is probably a part of the M31 subgroup...i.e. it orbits M31. Although it has a couple of satellites of it's own, notably LGS3 and around 30-50 globs.

Jeanette,

Sorry I missed this one -- catching up on old threads.

Fantastic image. I, too, haven't seen both in the same field of view before. Gives me ideas to try something similar.

It's also great to know that both galaxies are somewhat equidistant from the bright star in the middle. Will make finding them a touch easier.

Thanks!
