Andromeda in narrow/broad-band with the recently discovered SDSO1!

Image Description and Details: The Fiery Veil of Andromeda!
Gaze upon the Andromeda Galaxy, our cosmic neighbour, as it reveals its hidden secrets. The crimson halo you see is the Ha emission, a testament to the vast clouds of hydrogen gas that envelop this majestic galaxy. It's like Andromeda's own ethereal aura, glowing softly against the backdrop of the cosmos.



Now, let's dive deeper. The inverted image you see is a result of meticulous processing of the data taken using the Radian Triad filter. But what's that faint glimmer to the left? Ah, that's the STROTTNER-DRECHSLER-SAINTY OBJECT 1. Processing this was no easy feat. It was like trying to hear a whisper in a storm. But with a blend of channels, some masking magic, and this ghostly presence was brought to life. Its amazing how the world of Oiii has so much for us unknown.
