Description

Normally, I am very critical of my work, but I am secretly quite proud of this result.
The weather is nothing but cloudy these days . Yesterday we had the one night of clear skies and M31 in Zenit. Guess what the target was...
This is my third attempt to capture M31, our closest neighboring galaxy. Its distance from us is "only" 2.5 million light years, which is relatively close in astronomical terms. Wanted to shoot H-alpha channel as well but trees were blocking the view by then. Might add those later.
