I've been a long time trying to get this one. It is one of the most challenging objects I've done. I'm still not completely satisfied with it, but it is the best I've done to date.

Andromeda's friends in the image are:

To the top left, Messier 110, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy that is a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy;

To the bottom right, Messier 32, is a dwarf elliptical galaxy, and another satellite galaxy of Andromeda.

The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away, and is so large that I can't get it all in my image due to the size of the chip in my camera. A full sized chip might get it all at the focal length of my scope.
