M 31 Andromeda Galaxy using HyperStar Lens

Return to Galaxies

This was my first attempt at using the HyperStar Lens on the CGE 1400 Scope . I was able to frame the entire galaxy in one shot. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years from earth and is one of the nearast galaxies to our own Milky Way Galaxy.
