Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Moon over Andromeda." This composite image combines a near-full Moon with a deep exposure of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy (along with its companion galaxies M32 and M110). M32 is the bright fuzzball just below the Moon, and M110 is at 4 o'clock from the center of M31. If you are curious, the equipment used was a Televue 127is telescope and an Apogee U9000 CCD camera.

APOD background
"Explanation: The Great Spiral Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as M31), a mere 2.5 million light-years distant, is the closest large spiral to our own Milky Way. Andromeda is visible to the unaided eye as a small, faint, fuzzy patch, but because its surface brightness is so low, casual skygazers can't appreciate the galaxy's impressive extent in planet Earth's sky. This entertaining composite image compares the angular size of the nearby galaxy to a brighter, more familiar celestial sight. In it, a deep exposure of Andromeda, tracing beautiful blue star clusters in spiral arms far beyond the bright yellow core, is combined with a typical view of a nearly full Moon. Shown at the same angular scale, the Moon covers about 1/2 degree on the sky, while the galaxy is clearly several times that size. The deep Andromeda exposure also includes two bright satellite galaxies, M32 and M110 (below and right). "
