Bob! Stop being so mean - if he wants to use obscure naming for his astro photography he can do as he pleases. It is a art after all which indirectly implies an artistic license to create, be it the work itself or the name of the work.

Well actually you're talking two different things. Names and types but it's all good. Carry on.

Yes you are right Russ....the reason I labeled it as the pinwheel is because the app "sky safari" on my phone has m33 listed as pinwheel, and m101 as a spiral galaxy....I looked online and it says m33 is the triangulam galaxy but it is informally known as pinwheel...so I guess that solves it

Umm, the Pinwheel is M101 and M33 is the Triangulum Galaxy which this does look to be... M33

Not bad regardless. Try Google - it's the answer to everything.
