Andromeda

This is a resubmission. I had a chance to reprocess this image with some different software. I wasn't getting satisfying color balance or noise reduction with Deep Sky Stacker, so I converted, registered and stacked in Iris. I am very pleased with the results. Post processing in Photoshop.
