Taken with an 85 mm lens at f/2. Six pane mosaic, exposure time 60 seconds per pane. Minimal processing, mostly lens correction and curve adjustment. Example: before, after
This is a great shot. The fact that we can see the Andromeda Galaxy from 2.5 million light years away just drives home how mind-bogglingly huge that galaxy is, and how infinitesimally small our pale blue dot is. I love pictures like this.

Makes me wonder if there's a photo from Andromeda showing the same view from the opposite perspective.
