M31 and M32

M31 needs no introduction, it's an icon of deepsky observing. When it is clear and dark, M31 reveals massive amount of detail including this dark lane sketched here. Nice bonus is M32, a dwarf galaxy exactly south of M31 central region. Which did not fit in the field of my kellner, was ngc 206 (Sill awaiting for my 31mm nagler). But stay tuned, there is more to come...
