Andromeda Galaxy! The last several nights were clear, so I added a lot of imaging time to the Andromeda Galaxy. This is a two panel mosaic, high resolution image that combines a total of 23hrs 21min of exposure time. The colors and detail really come through with longer exposure times on this galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy is our closest galactic neighbor, and is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye from dark skies.
*I edited the post to remove information about the red shift. Many people smarter than I have pointed out my error. The color difference, while it matches, is coincidental to the red shift, which would only be visible to scientific instruments. Classic case of having just enough informarion to draw the wrong conclusion*
