Visibility IV / V

Eemil Pietilä, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

The weather became clear for a moment, so I decided to add a little more exposure to my Andromeda picture. Now the total exposure is about 4.5 hours. The details came out nicely. I also decided this time to edit more natural colors. A nice addition was the removal of the stars with Statnet ++ so that I could handle them separately and thus managed to remove the halos more efficiently.

Observation target
- Deep space object
Designation
- M31
Weather
- Nyt viimeisellä kerralla jouduin heittämään osan kuvista pois, sillä välillä kuvakenttään ilmestyi pilviä. Myös kuu loisti täysikuuna taivaalla, joten mikään optimitilanne ei ollut.

Galaxies
- Spiral galaxy
  
  Spiral galaxy is a stellar system where there are outwards arched spiral arms from roundish (spiral galaxies) or bar-shaped (barred spiral galaxies) central condensation.
  
  The apparent shape of spiral galaxied depends on out observation direction. From above they are quite round. From the side they lens-shaped with a bulge in the middle.
  
  Generally a rather large instrument, good weather conditions and observational expereince are needed to see spiral arms. Usually spiral galaxies look like a fuzzy spots.
