Well, I obviously need to work on my astrophotography.
But, I "discovered" the M31 Andromeda Galaxy last night while looking at and shooting some stars.
I had no idea it was visible without a telescope, let alone where to look for it! Here's another shot from the previous night detailing the location.
A friend of a friend provided this amazing info on my Facebook post last night:
It is the farthest object that any human can see with the naked eye, and our closest neighbor galaxy in space;
2.5 million light years away. It is the ONLY object that anyone can see with the naked eye that is NOT in our Milky Way.
