Dark Infinity

My first was actually completely by accident I bought a camera and was doing wide field shots because I love the night sky and live in an area fairly clear of light pollution, and saw something odd pop up in a few images. A little fuzzy spot. Some posting and a few questions later I find out, that's M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy.

So I got a little closer and played around with the DSS (once someone was kind enough to point it out to me.) And I got a little better image of it.

And this was all with my Nikon D3100 out of the box, so the first one is 18mm and the close up is 55mm stacked and zoomed in.
