    About ten years ago, the Hubble Space Telescope was pointed at M31 to record an image of the star. Here's an Earth-based photo of the galaxy with insets showing the region imaged by HST, and the region covered by the Var! plate.

    The copy of Hubble's “Var!” plate in this image has been enhanced to make the star much more visible.
