So happy to have captured this — my best astro photo to date. This is, of course, the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor at a stone’s throw of 2.5 million light years away. You can also see M110 and M32, its two brightest satellite galaxies (out of a whopping 35 dwarf galaxies orbiting around it). Shot with a Dwarf 3 telescope under a starry Idaho night sky, which was stunning even with the naked eye.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31), its spiral disc tilted at a 45° angle from lower left to upper right, in a field of stars. Its two brightest satellite galaxies are visible as glowing smudges, M110 at lower right and M32 at upper left closer to the bright galactic core.
