Incredible Shortlist of 2025 Astronomy Photographer of the Year Contest
“Firework
The image shows M33, the triangular galaxy from a new perspective. Because of the tidal interaction with the M31, there is a very prominent activity to form stars in the M33, which leads to an amazing structure of emissions. During the processing, a separate Sho image was created with a strong SII/H-Alpha, and the incandescent red structures in the image, mixed with a high-resolution LRGB processing for communication data, representing the “background” light.
