Description:
Andromeda galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to our Earth. Excluding the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, visible from Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, the Andromeda galaxy is the brightest external galaxy we can see. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s the most distant thing humans can see with the unaided eye. This was captured in 2 consecutive nights with two different filters used . And then those datas were processed and blended. It was my first Andromeda attempt with a Cooled Astrocam. Hope u like it.
