M31 Andromeda Galaxy



The andromeda galaxy was the first galaxy that I have ever found. In the scope it was only a fuzzy ball of light with dimmer nebulocity around it. I remember how excited I was to find it for the very first time. Each time I observed it I would notice more and more faint detail. I practiced averted vision, dark adaption, and relaxing the gaze to dialate the pupil on this target. Taken 7-30-05.
