Description

Finally the sky is dark again after the summer. During the summer I mounted a motor focuser , but could not test it until now due to the very bright Scandinavian nights. 

I think I got the focus right in this H-alpha shot of the Andromeda galaxy. There are a lot of visible HII regions along the spiral arms of the galaxy.
