Description

The Moon is very bright tonight (only a few days before full) but Andromeda is fairly far away so I decided to attempt to image the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7640.

NGC 7640 is in the constellation Andromeda and is about 29.72 million light years away.  If you drove your car at 120 miles/hour it would take ~146,564,573,814,572 years to get there.
