Brandon Powers of Moultrie, Georgia captured this photo of M31, also known as the Andromeda galaxy. You can also see NGC 221 at the top and NGC 205 at the bottom.
The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way at approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. According to the 2006 observations of the Spitzer Space Telescope, Andromeda galaxy contains around one trillion stars which is approximately twice the number of stars in the Milky Way.
Brandon used a Nikon D90 camera attached to 12” LX200 telescope.
