Description

This is a crop of previous image of M 31.

As I already mentioned, the last picture of M31 from DSW shows a huge amount of details. I was also glad to find, although barely visible, the famous star V1, the first cepheid discovered in another galaxy.

This star was discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1923 and allowed astronomers to estimate the distance to M 31 and to proof once and for all that this is not a part of Milky Way.
