The great galaxy in Andromeda. At a distance of nearly 3 million light years this is the furthest object that can be seen without optical equipment.
It is a huge galaxy containing billions of stars and is not dissimilar to our own galaxy - The Milky Way.
The 2 sattelite galaxies M32 and NGC 205 can be seen also.
A little over 7 hours exposure time for this image over 3 nights.
Imaged through 10 inch Newtonian telescope and 80 mm refractor using a modified canon eos 1000d and light pollution filter.
