I am biased; the Andromeda Galaxy is one of my favorites - one of my cats is even named Andromeda 😊

Brilliant, Meredith!

It looks like it’s getting CLOSER!

In 2015 NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope produced this *zoomable* image of the Andromeda Galaxy - mindblowingly awesome!

Beautiful.

jkatzaman.bsky.social•58 days ago

It seems closer than your earlier exposure.

davidbflower.bsky.social•58 days ago

Used a bigger zoom.

pesutton.bsky.social•58 days ago

Superb photo, what kind of camera/device do you use David to capture these kind of shots?

davidbflower.bsky.social•58 days ago

For that pic my Canon EOS 1200D, Canon EF 75-300mm lens, Vixen Polarie Star Tracker. It's a stacked image. Processed using Sequator and FastStone.

After seeing the Aurora twice in England this year, my goal in 2025 is to try and catch Andromeda, just as soon as we get some clear skies!

davidbflower.bsky.social•58 days ago

Good luck, Paul!

drpaulm.bsky.social•58 days ago

Is it me or is it getting closer?

davidbflower.bsky.social•58 days ago

Perhaps not.

drpaulm.bsky.social•58 days ago

Idk man, it looks kinda blue. Perhaps it's sad and wants a merger?

fromct.bsky.social•58 days ago

It is expected to merge with Milky Way galaxy in about 4.5 billion years.

davidbflower.bsky.social•58 days ago

Might not happen. Possibly skim the Milky Way.

drpaulm.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh, that's very good. You've won the internet for the rest of the year

fromct.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes, I read that.

art-guy-one.bsky.social•58 days ago

Great... Andromeda... had to get rid of my 8 inch celestron... I'm still in mourning!

drainotx.bsky.social•58 days ago

I took the same photo 2 nights ago. I just recieved a new Seestar 50m for Christmas.
