Description

A straight forward take on the majestic neighbour , Andromeda. 
I imaged the galaxy 7 years ago with poor results, now I think I gave it justice.
Threw away half of the Luminance I gathered and kept only the very fine ones. It resulted with a pleasing strong luminance. 
The red channel also seemed to show some nice subtle hint of the galaxy's numerous gaseous regions so I decided not to go after H-alpha material. 
This is a almost 11 hours LRGB.  
To my joy I seem to have captured the star that changed astronomy forever, Edwin Hubble's Cepheid variable, V1!

Hope you enjoy it
