The new Hyper-Suprime Cam (HSC) on Japan's Subaru telescope at the summit of Hawaii's Mauna Kea has taken a photo of the Andromeda Galaxy variously described as "stunning", "sensational" and "enchanting"

I agree, I think there are loads of amateur images much better than that, and the core is burnt out.
