Description:

The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the northern gems. Although it can be seen visually from Buenos Aires latitude, it is very hard to image because is only 15 degrees from the horizon at its peak. After a hot summer and "la niña" effect, we had a cloudy autumn and winter, so I took the chance of processing Jim Misti Messier 31 raw files which are available at his site http://www.mistisoftware.com/astronomy/
