Description

This is my biggest project yet: a 6 panel mosaic of our closest neighbor Andromeda.

To fit the entire galaxy in the image I would need 18 panes in a 3x6 arrangement - this is NOT going to happen with this setup!

I got lucky and had 3 good days in one week to collect this data, during a long stretch of nice weather in southern Ontario.

Description: Fine tuned a number of small details, mostly trying to reduce the redness of the dust lanes in the center of the image
