    M32 image, by Michael Oates, taken on September 25, 1987, 22:15 UT from Prestwich, Manchester. England, with a 300mm f/4.5 telephoto lens. The image was exposed for 45 minutes on Kodak Technical Pan 2415 film, developed in D19 for 8 min at 20 deg C. M32 (NGC 221) shows up as an 8.7 magnitude elliptical galaxy, 3 minutes of arc across.

    CCD image of elliptical galaxy M32 by Michael Purcell, taken with a ST-7 CCD camera through his Meade 10-inch f/6.3 telescope, taken on November 23, 1995 at 23:10 local time from Michael's driveway. The image was exposed for 10 minutes.

    The light gray background of this picture is not a fault in the image. It is the diffuse starry background of M31, the great galaxy in Andromeda. This image has neither the integration time nor the resolution necessary to bring out the dust lanes in the background.

    [M32, M. Germano]

    M32 as photographed by Martin Germano. This is a portion of a larger photograph of southern M31 (and M32), taken with a 14.5-inch f/5 Newtonian, stopped to f/6 (12-inch), exposed 130 minutes on hypered Kodak Tech Pan 2415.

    Portions of M31's spiral arms with some fine detail are visible in the background throughout this image, in particular the upper right (North-West). Also visible are some foreground stars which belong to our Milky Way galaxy. M32 shines at very uniform light, fading out from an overexposed central region toward the edges.
