Description

The Andromeda galaxy, or M31 is a spiral galaxy located approximatly 2.5 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It is the closest galaxy and the largest of the Local Group with a diameter of 220,000 light years.

Autoguiding was not working that night, but did not need it ! It is so big even with a full frame Canon 6D, we cannot see the full extensions of the galaxy.
