Description

This is the first time I try to pic Andromeda Galaxy, our beloved neighbor. It is placed at 2.5 Million Light Years from us and is approaching at high speed. In a couple of thousand of millions of years, Andromeda will collide with the Milky Way, luckily that won't happen this 2020 🙂

Andromeda is huge in the sky! It has 3 times the size of the full moon, but, despite all this, it was a complex object because my telescope has a lot of magnifications, so I had to deal with comma error. Also, I gap the green a little bit hard and the stars look quite bluish. Maybe in the future I'll reprocess it.
