Description



This is an hour long worth of exposure from last nights visit to Jenny Jump. Shot on my Orion 10 inch Astrograph Newtonian.

NGC 891 is an edge-on unbarred spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It's angled perfectly relative to our view of it to allow us to view it edge on unlike most views of galaxies. There are several other galaxies visible in this image (if you look hard enough) as this galaxy is a member of the NGC 1023
