Hey!

Send you galaxy M.31, “A study of a great galaxy”.

In some clear nights with good seeng, I made a study of this
great galaxy in September 2002.
Beside my 10×50 and 7×40 binoculars, I used 50x, 80x, 111x
and 166x magn. on my 20.3 cm. SCT, f/10. I had to use high
power to see the great starcloud N.G.C. 206 in the galaxy.
It is not much structures to see in this nearby galaxy, exept
of the dark band to north and a faint brightening just north of it.
At high power I could observe a point of light in the core.
The surrounding area was bright with gradually faiding outwards.
M. 32 was round and bright compared to the oval and diffuse
M.110 to north.
I used crayons(watercolours) on black paper only.
The observation was from outside Trondheim city, Norway.

Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
