Andromeda Galaxy - M31 & M32

Revision title: M31 Andromeda 3 panel mosaic

[EN]
Please welcome our neighbour galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It is currently at 2.5 million light-years from our Milky Way, but rapidly moving toward us for a meet and greet in about 4 to 5 billion years. The smaller 'spot' is M32. This image is a 3 panel mosaic in which I tried to bring out most of the details by dimming the light in the core and increasing luminocity and contrast in the spiral arms to bring out the star clusters, gas and dust. I hope you like it.

Mag ik jullie voorstellen aan ons buur sterrenstelsel, het Andromedastelsel (M31). Het bevindt zich momenteel op 2,5 miljoen lichtjaar van onze Melkweg, maar is vastberaden om ons in ongeveer 4 tot 5 miljard jaar te ontmoeten. De kleinere 'vlek' is M32. Deze foto is een mozaïek van 3 panelen waarin ik geprobeerd heb de meeste details naar voren te brengen door het licht in de kern te dimmen en de helderheid en het contrast in de spiraalarmen te verhogen om op die wijze de sterrenhopen, gas en stof te voorschijn te toveren. Ik hoop dat jullie ervan genieten.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
