   That's a spectacular #M31 image. I envy you the equipment to take images like that. I envy you even the 5 inch refractor.

   I offer for your sense of humor my cheat image. I used the Harvard-Smithsonian #MicroObservatory, a system of a half dozen or so 6 inch Maksutov-Newtonian telescopes available to the public. I provided my own image reduction and stacking software to get this image.

     Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy, almost fits in the field of view of my 5 inch refractor. This is a 2.5 hour integration (162 x 60s) taken early Saturday morning. The satellite #galaxies Messier 32 and Messier 110 are left and right.
