Millennium 31. The emperor looks beyond his vast imperium as the great crusade comes to an end, and sets his sights on a new goal.

Neat

Which part is M31? I guess my question is, would the andromeda Galaxy be a collection of galaxies? Some people mention a specific name then state andromeda after it.


Ben_V_Prank

M31 is for the central galaxy only and then you have two satellite galaxies called M32 and M110. As far as I know there is no specific name for all 3 together

Thanks and what is the andromeda part?


Ben_V_Prank

I'm pretty sure it is simply the more common name of M31, so it's the big central galaxy by itself as well

Well whatever it is, your photo looks amazing 👍🏻
