Description

One of my bucket list items at this week's astronomy camp was to try shooting Andromeda with my big zoom lens. I used the ballhead adapter off a Star Adventurer to put my camera on a CGEM II mount and shot this at 285mm. It's not quite as good as the APO telescope and I could have used more frames, but definitely worth a try.
