NGC 891 (also known as Caldwell 23) is an edge-on unbarred spiral galaxy (actually barred) about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by William Herschel on October 6, 1784. This image of NGC891 was taken at the 2013 Okie-Tex star party the evening of October 2, 2013. The image was taken with an Orion Deep Sky Imager II Color. The image is made up 14 ten minute sub-frames and 18 5 minute sub-frames for a total of 230 minutes. Pre-processing and calibration was done in Nebulosity 3. Photoshop CS5 was used for the final processing.
