Description

NGC 205 in Andromeda; often imaged, but rarely noticed, it seems. I decided to put it centre stage.

In most images, this elliptical galaxy shows no details. But there are actually very subtle dark dust bands near the center, and there's also a very weak tidal stream that ties it to its larger neighbour.

Then combined with LRGB to produce LLRGB.
