M31.  Andromeda Galaxy
Robert Gendler captured this 40 frame mosaic of the great Andromeda Galaxy using an ST-10XE camera.
The images were taken over 10 separate sessions. The cumulative exposure time for the entire mosaic was 40
hours.  Color data was obtained from previous images of M31 taken with various instruments.  Each frame
was imaged at a focal length of approximately 2000mm. The resolution of the mosaic is 1.7 to 2.5 arcseconds
depending on sky conditions. The telescope used was a 12.5" Ritchey Chretien Cassegrain at F6.
