FWIW, those photos (4,5) of the Andromeda galaxy aren't from the HST. The Andromeda galaxy is about 6 times larger in the sky than the moon, so those are most likely from an amateur with a telescope (looking at the diffraction spikes, a reflector). Decent work, nothing special.

Huh, and thank you. I stand corrected. I'd immediately recognized it from NASA's apod from the olden days, but did not absorb the copyright line: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap051222.html

Thank you for checking this. I really expected to see copyright infringements.
