Description

Using 2018 RGB data and 2019 Luminance data i made a new M31 version, now LRGB and using 2x drizzle. To make this LRGB version a little bit different i made this cropped version.

The V1 annotation (need full scale to see) shows the "Star that changed the universe" a Cepheid variable named "V1" by Edwin Hubble. He used V1 in 1923 to prove that the Andromeda "Nebula" was in fact a Galaxy outside our own Milky Way.
