Description

This image of the Andromeda Galaxy showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of this celestial wonder in stunning detail. My goal with this deep project was to produce a beautiful, multi-layered image that reveals the intricate structure of this celestial wonder in unprecedented detail and with the addition of 38-hours of H-alpha data to showcase even the faintest clouds surrounding the galaxy.

Amidst this sea of H-alpha clouds, countless stars can be seen, ranging in color from brilliant white to deep red. The galaxy's central bulge is also prominently visible, a bright, dense region that seems to radiate energy and power.

My biggest project to date, I’m looking forward to fill the 100 hours this autumn with additional Oxygen data.
