M31 - The great Andromeda Galaxy

[Leonardo70]

Taking advantage of the fact that it is at the zenith for me at this time, I made this shot of our neighboring galaxy M31.

Taking advantage of two excellent nights, almost perfect, I could also make available the full resolution, which I highly recommend you watch, the file is heavy 8MB.

Thanks for looking...

All the best,

Great M31 Leonardo, one of those images of a "classic" one's should be proud of. You got remarcable details considering the limited spatial resolution, heat off :thumbsup:

Clear skies

I missed this one Leo, and what a beauty it is! rich colour for sure but I like it. Lots of fine details and as Marcus said I to would love to image this one with the AG12 from the Northern hemisphere or at least closer to the equator.

Another Leo fantastic'o image :thumbsup:

Stunning capture and processing. One of the few disadvantages of being in the southern hemisphere is not being able to have a decent go at this one.
