This time I pointed my camera a little more to the north and was able to photograph a few faint meteors. After reviewing the images for meteors I started to notice that one star appeared larger and "fuzzy". The "fuzzy" star was the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2.5 million light-years away.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way (our galaxy) and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth.
The Andromeda Galaxy is located to the right of the constellation Cassiopeia. Also visible in the photo is a faint meteor.
