Description

As sometimes happens, there is a big swath of time between morning and evening comets.  So I had a little time to have some fun and capture the thrilling M31 - The Great Andromeda Galaxy.  A little over 4 hours of capture time under ideal mountain air conditions using a OSC and a fast F/2.2  scope.  Field of view should have been wider for this target, but oh well, this was just for the enjoyment of the night waiting for the morning comets to appear.
