Color!


Here is another pic from this weekend. I have finally managed to find my color data. This image shows the Andromeda Galaxy also known as M31. To the upper left, the faint fuzzy is a companion Galaxy, and there is a second one directly to the right of the galactic core that looks more starlike. This object is visible to the naked eye, and appears as a faint smudge on the sky looking to the east around 9:30 p.m. between Cassiopeia and the great square of Pegasus.

Sweet pic! I for one welcome our new overlords from this far-away galaxy.
