Limiting magnitude: 6.5 - low alt

Object: M33
Category: Spiral galaxy
Constellation: Tri
Data: mag 5.7  size 73'x45'

Description: Unquestionably present, and obviously
somewhat large, even to the naked eye! I have not
seen this object in brighter skies (6.0 or worse),
so I think 6.5 may be the (my) limit for naked-eye
visibility of the Triangulum Galaxy.
