Hi all,
Here is an image of the core region of the Great Andromeda Galaxy.
running out of space in the geocities web server...images have to be kept small and with unjustified low-res quality!

wooo..nice remus!
First time i see the Princess up so close....
I am pretty amazed though why the light from her is so diffused and we are not able to resolve any object such as globulars and such.
I think even the hubble can barely catch any detail in there.
This is unlike the LMC and SMC which are both rich is details (like the tarantula) but of course, these 2 are much nearer..

Anyway, we can still see some globulars in M31. G1, G76, G280 are all brighter than mag. 14.2, within the reach of scopes larger than 5inch. I've seen all three before, and for this Mersing trip, I and Alfred saw G1 using his C9.25. However, resolving these globulars are totally impossible for us lah, though Hubble can resolve G1...Airconvent wrote:wooo..nice remus!

P.S. Here is a Cloudynights article about objects in M31
