This one while never complete says a lot.

The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.2 Million Light Years from Earth. It is one of The Milky Way’s closest Galactic neighbors.

    I love the way this is coming together. Astonomy is fascinating. Can you imagine all those planets out there? I loved that movie with Jodie Foster. Contact, I think. Great picture, Paul. xx

    there is certainly some stunning detail coming through the dust lanes and the companion galaxys are fab , are you planning on mosaicing the whole area?

  • Due to technical issues, This work will remain unfinished.
    Fortunately I like it as is.
