Description

The Andromeda Galaxy

Andromeda is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way but it is larger with about 1 trillion stars and 150,000 light years across.

It is approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way.

I used 521 images to create this photo in October of 2020. Each photo was a 1 minute exposure. PixInsight was used to process the 518 files.

This is the second version of Andromeda that I have posted to Astrobin. This second image was processed with PixInsight and the colors are more natural.
