Description

It was quite difficult to process this image because Vivitar 135 mm presents a lot of optical defects, especially around bright stars. However i love this result because are visibile a lot of faint details in the galaxy arms, the gravity-twisted star halo around M31 (and also around M32) and some IFN in the background. All despite the light pollution which is impossible to avoid from my observation site!
