Example 2: Figure 8 (90 Kbytes) shows an image of M31. While this is not a particularly spectacular image of M31 it is nevertheless unique as it was taken in a suburban backyard using a Lynxx CCD camera. The exposure is unfiltered. ... The image scale in this system is 41 arcseconds per pixel which yields a total field size of 2.2 x 1.9 square degrees. At this pixel resolution M32 blends into the light of M31, although NGC 205 (marked with a red arrow) is plainly visible. ... Page 6 . ...
