Andromeda Galaxy

August 30, 2020 By Andy Felong

Andromeda Nebula (M31)

Member, Dave Wilkins, assembled this fantastic image of the Andromeda Nebula (M31, NGC 224) from 55 images of 1-minute duration. Images were taken near Kinzua Point, close to Warren, PA in July, 2020. The nebula is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy’s name stems from the area of Earth’s sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda

A bit of snow, some clouds, some sun – 17 degrees F – possibly good seeing at night!

There is actually very little light around the observatory but the long exposure makes it seem pretty bright.
