The image is a 4 hour RGB exposure done using a TeleVue NP127is telescope and a QSI583wsg CCD camera on a CGE PRO mount. I took the image from Chain Lakes Provincial Park, Alberta. Camera control and preprocessing was done through ImagesPlus. Processing was done through PixInsight with final touch-up, as required, through Photoshop. Guiding was through PHD2 and a Lodestar camera. As a collision with M31 in the distant future is our home galaxy’s ultimate fate, how can a person not be fascinated by this object.
