Pinwheel Galaxy is M101. Here you have M33 : Triangulum Galaxy.
Anyway, this a nice shot of a faint and beautiful galaxy.

I'm glad you like the image, thanks! Thanks for the observation, too. And yeah, I agree, M101 is the Pinwheel Galaxy,and M33 is the Triangulum, but I have seen others refer to this as the Pinwheel also. [link]
