Clouds of Andromeda

Hello everyone.

I haven't written here in years... five to be exact... Apologies for that!! My latest image is a bit unusual so that motivated me to share with you. I hope you enjoy it.

This is the first image I know of the Andromeda galaxy that also shows at high resolution, depth and full color several of the very faint dust cirrus clouds emitting light (as opposed to reflecting it) in the deep red that happen to be in this very same field of view, despite they have never been captured like this until now.

Clear skies in 2017 for everyone!
Rogelio
