New deep-sky shots from my DWARF telescopes: one showing the Pacman Nebula devouring starlight in Cassiopeia, the other capturing the soft spiral arms of the Triangulum Galaxy, 2.7M LY away. Tiny scopes, big universe.

Photo 1: Pacman Nebula (NGC 281)
Captured with a DWARF 3 smart telescope from Tennessee skies, this image reveals the Pacman Nebula’s glowing clouds of hydrogen and dark dust lanes devouring starlight like its pixelated namesake. The nebula sits about 9,200 light-years away in Cassiopeia and is a stellar nursery where new suns ignite amid cosmic chaos. The black "mouth" cutting through the red haze is a dense molecular cloud silhouetted against ionized gas—proof the universe has both beauty and bite.

Photo 2: Triangulum Galaxy (M33)
Captured with a DWARF 2 telescope, this shot of the Triangulum Galaxy—our Local Group neighbor about 2.7 million light-years away—shows its faint spiral arms swirling through a sea of stars. The pale green glow reveals hydrogen regions where new stars are born, while the galaxy’s subtle rotation hints at its cosmic dance with the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies. Even from our tiny vantage point, this spiral whispers: everything spins, everything changes, everything burns bright before fading.

M33, Triangulum galaxy. About 2.74 million lights years away. If heading that way, plan for a couple of stops, probably won't make it all in one day.

Triangulum galaxy (M33) is in the Triangulum constellation. It's about 3 million light-years far away. Together with the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy it is assembled in the so-called "Local Group", and it is smaller than the other two.

The Triangulum Galaxy. This galaxy is 2.73 million light years away. I took this on the 8th and hadn't processed it. This is only 2 hours of integration time with a Lextreme filter. I'd like to shoot it again without the filter and combine them. #astrophotography #m33 #triangulum #triangulumgalaxy

Spent some time imaging M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. At about 2.73 million light-years away, it’s the third-largest galaxy in our Local Group, after the Milky Way and Andromeda.
