Spiral Galaxy NGC891

In the constellation Andromeda you can see an unbarred spiral Galaxy known as NGC891. Visually it's difficult to see and shows up as a very faint blur. I took some pictures at the moment the moon was 98% illulinated. That's why the picture is not really dark. The galaxy is loacted at a distance of 30 million light years from Earth. This is 15 times further then the Andromeda Galaxy M31.
The picture was taken with my nikon D7500 on TALAPO80/480 f/6. Darks are included and stacking with DeepSkyStacker. Final editing in CS4.
