Description

Well what can I say, this is definitely an improvement over my previous M31, which happened to be my first ever deep sky target. I finally can say I have done this target justice! This is a 2 panel Mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy in HALRGB. The great Andromeda Galaxy Messier31 is our nearest neighbor at a distance of about 2,500,000 light years away. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
