Hi guys, I'm new here. 

So i have heard from this source: 

http://www.thescinewsreporter.com/2019/06/in-august-andromeda-galaxy-will-move.html?m=1

that the galaxy andromeda will be visible to the naked eye and look bigger than the moon. They said that it will happen in August, but didn't specify a day. 

Does anyone know anything about this? Or about how i kann see it? 

Thanks in advance and sorry if my grammar is bad 

FAKE NEWS.........🤨🤨🤨

You can't believe everything that's written🤓🤓🤓 Or can you? LoL 

Roger Or is it?  LoL

i have a cmos camera, ZWO ASI183mm with electronic filter wheel ,the DSLR is a modded Canon 1000d no filters.

Started imaging last night at 2300 and after just over 1 hour the foggy cloud came over so only had
1 hour 10 mins of Ha and Oiii so combined my DSLR data from Feb last year.
Roger

great , did it come with guide scope rings or did you buy them separate as i got a ridiculous guidescope shoe that was really unstable.Only guided properly since i got rings,

Clearskies..

Roger

A new one to me, very nicely done,

Roger

Oh wow.

Roger

Great detail,  love it,

Roger
