Description

I was tweakig my M31 image and the slightest reduction of green resulted in this feature jumping out at me. I have seen it in many M31 images, but do not know if it has a name or designation. It should, for it is huge. It is amazing that a very tiny change can have bif effect on an image. Before I saw a dark smudge--now I get a sense of a spacial relationship between the structure and its surroundings--it looks like a cloud to me--or a puff of smoke.
