Description

Took my first real try at the Andromeda Galaxy(M31). Had something off with my mount so was limiting to 45 second exposures. Tho this, next to the Orion Nebula, is the most photographed... It is easy to see why. I really can't wait for it to get a bit higher sooner so I can spend some quality time with out galactic neighbor..
