Description

Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a very popular and frequently imaged object. Typically because it's size it is photographed in large scale (in terms arcsec/pixel). This time, I decided to give it a shot with a setup which provides a small scale of 0.86" per pixel. Additionally I wanted to make sure than bright parts are not overexposed, so luminance is a HDR composite of 10, 30, 60 and 120 seconds.  This is where beauty of this object explodes. Lots of detail and impressive Ha regions come out of dark like never. I hope you enjoy it.
