Description

Still new at this, but here is my first attempt from last week to photograph and process an image of a popular deep sky object, The Andromeda Galaxy a.k.a. M31. It's over 2.5 million light years from our tiny blue planet and it's the closest galaxy to our own. It's about 9 billion years old and its been slowly heading on a collision course with our own Milky Way Galaxy, which will happen in about 4 billion years😱🚀👍
