Description

This is the first photograph I ever took using a telescope.  It's only a 1 hour exposure.  I went back to re-process and, I think, I improved it.

This was shot from my backyard in San Francisco, California, Bortle 7 skies..

M31 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way.
