Description

The Andromeda Galaxy did not want me to image it.  Any time I tried last summer, the weather would turn cloudy, so I had to put together several partial nights of imaging, and I had to strengthen the apparent signal by way of Ortonizing the information.  The image is a mosaic from a 447 FL APO refractor, broadband data laid over dual band.  I hope next summer to get a few full nights on it from Bortle 1.5 skies.
