Messier 31 the Andromeda Galaxy.
Charles Messier, who compiled the first western catalog of interstellar objects, classified as nebulas, described M31 as The sky has been very good in the night of August 3 to 4, 1764; & the constellation Andromeda was near the Meridian, I have examined with attention the beautiful nebula in the girdle of Andromeda, which was discovered in 1612 by Simon Marius, & which has been observed since with great care by different astronomers, & at last by M. le Gentil who has given a very ample & detailed description in the volume of the Memoirs of the Academy for 1759, page 453, with a drawing of its appearance.
Telescope was William Optics RedCat51, ZWO ASI533 color camera. The sequence was 1 hour of 30-second exposures stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and finished in Pixinsight. The final finish in Adobe Lightroom.
Astrophotography is the most difficult and detailed imaging I have ever done.
Truly impressive work! 👏 Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful image, please post some more!
Really nicely done! If I wasn't juggling enough already, I would be investigating this kind of photography too!
