Description

NGC 891 (also known as Caldwell 23, the Silver Sliver Galaxy, and the Outer Limits Galaxy) is an edge-on unbarred spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by William Herschel on October 6, 1784.

This is a re-edit of a 2 year old data that I acquired back in the autumn of 2021. Unfortunately this one had small stacking artifacts created when using 294mc pro on live stack via ASI Air Pro back some time ago (could have been a software bug back then and only had 1 dark and 1 bias as calibration during the live stack)
