This Photo taken by club president John Reed of M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy is our nearest galactic neighbor this galaxy is geared to collide and merge with our galaxy the Milky Way in about 4 billion short years. This Galaxy is one of the few that are actually naked eye objects. This barred spiral galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from Earth. You can clearly see M110 the small oval shape underneath the main galaxy is actually a satellite dwarf galaxy of M31, two for the price of one! Taken with Meade 70mm f5 Quad and ASI2600MM camera.
