Of course, it does not take into account any real physical limitation, like the speed of light ... Just having fun with the idea. With the bad weather one can take the opportunity to learn new things or re-visit the images taken in the past and do something new with them. I recently learned how to separate the star field in a photograph, using StarNet and PixInsight, from the main deep-sky object. The star fields in the two original photos are of course stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In the hypothetical "flight" to M31, once you leave the Milky Way behind, the image you'll see from the Andromeda galaxy is free from the Milky Way stars. If the trip to the Andromeda galaxy would continue, at some point when close enough, you would again be able to resolve (see) individual stars, this time belonging to M31. That final part of the "trip" is not included in the short videoclip, as with my telescope it is not possible to resolve individual stars in M31. To make this short movie, i had first to separate the star fields from the 2 original photos, taken earlier in summer. Then mixed everything with some video editing, to simulate the "flight", and done ! The result is fun, so I decided to give it a try and share it.
