M31 Andromeda galaxy with M32 and M110

This was my first ever galaxy taken at Astrocamp in Brecon Beacons, Wales, last week (23rd September 2014). I posted it once already but this is a reprocessed one without calibration frames and I think it looks lovelier and more defined than the one with dark calibration frames.

 

I wish to thank my 2.5 million light years old and still very sexy model for posing :) I am still very awed by Andromeda and to have captured these ancient light photons is a spine tingling feeling.
