Description

M31 - Andromeda Galaxy. Taken with my eVscope 2 at Lake Overholser in Oklahoma City on 23 Jun 2022. Bortle 8-9 skies; winds around 10mph.

The whole Andromeda Galaxy is way too big to fit in the field of view of the eVscope 2. Probably the reason the plate solution doesn’t identify it as the Andromeda Galaxy. But it identifies HD3969, which is in the dead center of the galaxy, so the plate solution is accurate.
