NGC 891 in Andromeda

NGC 891 is an edge-on Hubble class Sb galaxy in Andromeda. It's equatorial dust lane completely obscures its central nucleus. Ironically, this same dust lane would render our Milky Way galaxy invisible from most places within NGC 891. The equatorial dust lane exhibits delicate wisps and tendrils of dust extending above and below its plane.

Exposures: L:R:G:B = 405:225:225:225 minutes = 18 hours total exposure, completely unguided.
