Description

A two-panel mosaic of Andromeda, with the Ritchey-Chrétien 8-inch telescope. 

I recommend zooming in, the image has a nice resolution and you can dive through the stardust, the nebulosity, the HII regions... that is the reason why I decided to do a mosaic, to be able to "go beyond".

First time using color calibration by photometry… which discovered me the beautiful sunny colour in the galaxy core. Also, hyperbolic stretch helped bringing out the magenta in the HII regions.
