About this image

M32 often appears in images as an over-exposed blob as you strive to get optimum exposures on its giant neighbour, M31. I exposed this image to capture M32, dwarfed by M31, sitting ghostly behind it.

This is a crop from a much larger image, which yielded other items of interest that I shall post separately.
