M31 - The great Andromeda Galaxy

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,
Leo

Truly amazing work.
You need to make a poster out of that & hang it on your wall.
