| Description | This galaxy was discovered by Charles Messier (#44) on August 10, 1773. Curiously, he never recorded it in the Catalog. This was the last additional Catalog entry, added finally by Kenneth Glyn Jones in 1966. <--> I've imaged M31 many times, and all include a view of M110. This image, taken with my Evo 9.25 remains my favorite depiction of M110 despite its obvious flaws. I just love the way this dwarf elliptical galaxy is floating freely in the foreground while Andromeda looms below. At the time, this was my only focal length option and I could image only a small fraction of M31. This framing struck me as an elegant solution at the time, and still does. |
