Andromeda Galaxy details

This composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy was formed using a black-and-white photo and a color photo. The black-and-white image was taken by Rajiv Gupta using a refractor, and the color image by Peter Ceravolo using a Maksutov astrograph. The 2 images were aligned by RegiStar, and then a composite image was created using the Lab color model in Adobe Photoshop.
