Description

This image is a combination of a regular broadband RGB signal with a narrowband. That allowed me to “look inside” the Andromeda galaxy and emphasise Red clouds (nebulas) of Hydrogen gas - the nurseries of stars, same like in our Milky Way galaxy. One of such nebulas looks like Viking’s Helmet and you can see it’s zoom-in in the comments.

Imaged by me on October 24th, from Negev Desert in Israel.
