One of our student observers colored this image of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) through applying separate layers of RGB filters and adjusting the opacity via Clip Studio Paint!

Pictured is the Eagle Nebula (M16) and the moon taken on our 24-inch telescope this summer!
Huge thanks to @redbull for fueling our all-nighters at the MSU Observatory! Staying up all night to study the stars just got a whole lot easier with a few cases of wings.

These are various deep-sky objects we have been able to get pictures of at the MSU Observatory throughout the year! The 1st image is the Silver Sliver Galaxy. The 2nd image is the Ring Nebula. The 3rd is the Phantom Galaxy, 32 million light-years away and a spiral galaxy just like our own!
