Description

I'm pleased to share my first actual photo of M31 that I am proud of, showcasing the beauty of this deep sky object in accurate colors and detail. Despite the Andromeda Galaxy being one of the biggest and brightest galaxies in the entire night sky, I have only imaged it 3 times over the course of the 4/5 years I have been in this hobby. 

I live in a Bortle 8 light pollution zone, so sadly even with many hours of itegration collected, the outer parts of the faint blue nebulosity are not visible in the photo.
