Description

Taken through a 135mm lens set at f/2.8 on a German Equatorial mount. 85 minutes of 30s exposures at 1600 ISO.

Our nearest large extra-galactic neighbor. The Andromeda Galaxy. She's 50% bigger than the Miky way with twice as many stars. This is what it looked like 2.1 million years ago.

I love this hobby!
