The Andromeda Galaxy

[Graeme]

Would anyone like to have a go at processing an image of the Andromeda Galaxy?

There are four files available to download, 2 .TIFs and 2 .FITs

Any one of them is good to go.

'Tis a thing of beauty! It would be the width of 3 full Moons if you could see it naked eye.

A good binocular target.

As a teenager (a long, long time ago), I had a small telescope, and the Andromeda Galaxy was one of the objects I could view from the balcony, even though we lived in a suburb of a large city...

It holds a special place for you then? :)

Are you going to have a go at creating one of your own?!

No problem, you can process one of these files!
