M31 Andromeda Galaxy

This has to be my cleanest Andromeda to date.Captured in Nova Scotia in August..after 2 1/2 months of working on it..I call it finalized.Every processing step was zoomed in at 100% to make sure the stars weren't taking a hit..I didn't want to over-saturate with color..Complete @ 3 1/2 hours integration time
