Description

This photo was published in the March 2024 issue of the English magazine: Astronomy Now.

Also for this subject I went to look for the darkest skies over the Italian mountains..
I did 2 sessions to collect as much signal as possible.
I measured a Sqm with the 'Sqm quality meter' of 21.26... so a good dark sky.
My goal for Andromeda was not to burn the nucleus and to be able to get the dust close to the nucleus out, even with single 300" shots.
if you zoom in on the nucleus, you will see the 2 arms of the dust spirals, coming out of the nucleus itself.
I did not use any filters.
Hope you like it,
