Light year

Hot stars burn brightly in this new image from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, showing the ultraviolet side of a familiar face. At approximately 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda galaxy, or M31, is our Milky Way's largest galactic neighbor. The entire galaxy spans 260,000 light-years across.

This one is a composite of 2.5 hours of H-alpha from my QHY9 CCD and 2 hours of RGB from my modified Canon XSi DSLR. Both through my William Optics 66mm triplet at f5.6.
