    [M31, George Greaney]

    George Greaney obtained this great color image of spiral galaxy M31, the Great Galaxy in Andromeda, together with its smaller elliptical satellite galaxies M32 and M110.

    This image is a digital composite of two one-hour exposures on hypered 120 format Kodak PPF Pro 400 film. Each 6X7 negative was scanned at 2000 dpi using a Polaroid Sprintscan 45. The image files were merged in Picture Window 2.0, the resulting composite image was further enhanced using Adobe Photoshop 5.0.

    Martin Germano took this beautiful film image of the North-Eastern edge of the Andromeda Galaxy M31 in August 2002 from Mt Pinos, California, using his 14.5-inch f/5 Newtonian. It was exposed 110 minutes on hypered Tech Pan 2415 film.

    This view of the Great Galaxy in Andromeda is of the northeastern portion. North is to the upper right of this image, the center of the image is about at RA 00h 44m 04s, Dec +41d 34m 15s (2000.0). Look at his images of the whole Andromeda Galaxy (with companion M32).
