NGC 891 is an edge on spiral galaxy in Andromeda. It
has a visual magnitude 10.1 and is at a distance of 10 million
light years. The relative dimensions of this galaxy are thought
to be typical for a spiral galaxy. Note the dust lane runing
along the equator and how thin the disk is.
The secondary mirror started to dew up about half way through
the exposure.
