Triangulum galaxy. I have spent a lot of quality time with this one. What I have tried to see, is more than two "main" spiral arms, but to date, I have not seen more than these I have drawn here. A interesting detail is NGC 604, one of the largest HII regions known (right from the core of M33). This region seems to be even brighter than the core of M33.
