Since M31/M110 (Andromeda galaxy) and M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) are in game, I’m wondering if there isn’t a mistake.
Today I went to Sol to check it out with real pictures, which support my suspicion I think.
My question is the following one: I think Frontier has put the mirror images of those galaxies in the game.
This is a possible common mistake, as pictures from telescopes are often flipped (left/right or up/down) or mirrored, depending on the type of telescope.
I send two pictures hereby.
The first one is from the deep sky survey, the second one is an in-game picture.

- In the DSS picture you see clearly that M31 is perpendicular to the line of 3 bright stars leading from M33 to M31. Ingame it is flipped.
- In DSS you see that the spiral arms of M33 go out counterclockwise. Ingame the go out clockwise.
