HST images of FULL M31?

Been looking for Hubble images of M31 of the total galaxy, not just the
pieces/ core I keep coming across. Are there any in existence? Thank you.

Why Hubble? Plenty of other images around, there is no point
in using an electron microscope to show the wart on your nose
in close-up, a nose is just a nose.

Search stsci.edui, for example. I have not found any and I am doubtful
about very wide field images of M31 produced by the space telescope.
The field is too big. There are plenty of good images from other sources.

That's what I thought as I searched too. I notice some of the nebular
images are mosaics of individual images "stitched" together and I'm
surprised they never did this with M31. It probably covers an even larger
area so too tedious.

Robert Gendler's seems to be about the best so far.

Thanks for your input.

As expected, this is a very subjective matter. Gendler's M 31 is
magnificent, but Tony Hallas' version is equally impressive, in my
view...
