Description

A quick look at our nearest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31. Taken on September 1st, 2021, 80x200 seconds of integration with my ED80 and a broadband light pollution filter.

This "local" Galaxy still boggles the mind if you really try to think about the distances involved: millions (2.3) of light years away. And it's the closest Galaxy in the local group (excluding the satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way).
