Our Nearest Neighbor
This is a deeper image of the andromeda galaxy with an FOV that barely fits the galaxy in the frame. Tremendous details can be seen of the whole galaxy from end to end. Individual stars, star clusters, and HII regions can be seen. An amazing dataset indeed. Imaged in LRGB. Software: Pixinsight and Photoshop.
