2023-10-19 M31 Andromeda Galaxy

Got lucky with a moonless night, so I had another attempt at The Andromeda Galaxy, using what I've learned from previous attempts.

It is fun to see the progress from each excursion. Most of my previous attempts at M31 have been under quite bad conditions, so this is the first time where I could give it a proper go.
