Description:
Hard to believe it has been just over 100 years since humanity established that the spiral nebulae they were observing were in fact other galaxies. Edwin Hubble provided the critical evidence observations of M31. This is a favorite target for visual observation as well as imaging. This image was captured with my wide-field rig from backyard. It is comprised of 111 subs at 120 sec each for a total exposure of 3 hours and 42 minutes. All processing as performed with PixInsight.
