Description

This is an image of Andromeda taken over two mostly clear evenings.

The focal length was 230mm.

The lens was at F/5.0 for the 30s exposures, F/5.6 for the 60 second exposures, and at F/6.3 for the 90 second exposures.




I was hoping for more detail in the dust rings, feedback welcome. Of course better gear would help but I'm trying to get the best out of what I currently have.

Description: After reading the" Astrobackyard Andromeda Galaxy Image Processing" I got the idea to select only the disc of the galaxy, excluding the center, and stretch that slightly with curves/levels.
