Galaxy NGC 891 in Andromeda

Hi all,

I took this image the other night of Spiral Galaxy NGC 891. I was taken in the early hours. Seeing was quite good.

OMG. Can't believe the scale of that. I have imaged it with a 10" and nowhere near what you got there.

Absolutely superb Eamonn. Note the small galaxy at the top left, and what looks like a huge globular cluster, or possibly a background galaxy, between the two bright stars above centre. Absolutely tremendous.
The other images in your gallery are also superb.
