I shot M31, our galactic neighbor, from a bit closer than last time at 670mm of focal length...it show nice details in the dust.

#Astronomy and #Astrophotography 🔭📷 are a nice way of reminding us our humble place in this Universe 😇.

What can you make of it @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, shot with an 130mm f/5.2 refractor and a PlayerOne Poseidon monochrome camera and Antlia V-Pro LRGB filters. 115x60s in luminance. All RGB subs 30s. 30xB, 67xR, 63xG.
