In today's APOD (https://science.nasa.gov/image-article/apod-2026-october-23-andromeda-in-southern-spring/), Lucy Yunxi Hu's tracked stack from October 10/11 catches the Andromeda Galaxy glowing low over the rolling hills of Mullion, New South Wales. The deep composite spans nearly six full moons, though the unaided eye sees only a faint fuzzy patch.
