Description

First, I did not plan to image our largest galaxy in the local group.
However, due to intermittent clouds in lower heights above the horizon, where my imaging targets were visible, but nearly perfect conditions around the Andromeda galaxy (at first sight), I immediately switched to take exposures there, of M31.
Four nights later, I really planned to do, and took another chunk of exposures ...and there it is ;-)
