Description

The silver sliver galaxy or NGC 891. This was obtained from my back yard. I'm excited with how this turned out. We are gearing up for galaxy season and I have just the scope to catcher these magnificent beasts. 

This galaxy lies about 30million light years away in the andromeda constellation. This is an edge on unbarred spiral galaxy. If you zoom in on the galaxy you can see some faint dust lanes and nebulae. I image a lot of these in our own galaxy. Its neat to see them in a galaxy "far far away". Hope you enjoy this!

I have been trying to perfect my imaging ruotine with the Losmandy G11 I got and my C11 Edge HD. This is a wonderful result and I couldn't be happier.
