Description

Two of our largest galactic neighbors, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) framed up nicely with the wide FoV provided by my new 50mm f/1.8 lens. Lens does not have a flat field unfortunately leading to a gnarly coma effect towards the edge of the image. It also turns some stars green for some reason, but thankfully this is easily fixable with SCNR or HLVG.

Gear Used:

Camera - Canon EOS 350D unmodded

Lens - Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM

Mount - Nyxtech NyxTracker V2

Aquisition:

Aperture - f/2.5

ISO-1600

37x30" sub exposures

~18min total integration time

Software Used:

Adobe Photoshop

Deep Sky Stacker

Pixinsight 1.8

Notes: If you look carefully you can also spot NGC 404 just to the left of Mirach in the center of the image.
