Description

I took this shot of Andromeda galaxy in Errachidia Morocco last week. The sky was finally clear with good seeing after two months of cloudy skies. I had waited Andromeda until it crossed meridian, at its highest altitude (distance from the horizon) so as to reduce the greatness of light pollution in the horizon.

This was shot with my Canon 450D & 55-250mm lens @250mm, f/5.6 , 1 hour and 5 minutes total exposure , ISO 1600. The camera was mounted on an equatorial and motorized mount.
