Description

2.32º x 1.22º mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy by Liam Yanulis. This was captured at 1270mm in 5 panels using Arthur. There were some problems with stitching and color balance between the panels due to the images being taken over the course of a month in between moonless nights, however I think I overcame them to still produce a good image here.
