Messier 32, not 31 (or is it the other way around?)

I have hard time remembering which is the Andromeda Galaxy and which is the smaller companion gallery.  So tonight I decided to image M32, what I thought was the big one.  Which it isn't.

Luckily, M31 is so honkin' big that it clearly fit in the frame anyway (and then some).

This image of M31/32 was created from 4 subs at 60 seconds each, with the camera's ISO set to 1600... and it's definitely not enough exposure time to bring out the whispy arms of this galaxy.  Oh, the arms of the galaxy are there.  If I dramatically overexpose/level/curve the image, the "lower" arm wrapping around the right edge of the core is easily visible.

This image makes me want to get an autoguider even more so I can more reliably track these guys for longer periods of time.  Despite the lack of definition in this image, it's still tremendously exciting to see massive, faint, far flung objects appearing in front of your eyes.
