M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy

I recently re-processed my Andromeda data set in pixinsight

 

The great Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor at 2.5million light years away. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a Spiral Galaxy. The galaxy is actually visible to the naked eye but looks like a small fuzzy patch in the sky. In the next 4-5 billion years Andromeda and the Milky Way are set to collide and will form a large elliptical galaxy.
