Description

I've wanted to shoot Andromeda for almost a year now since taking astrophotography more seriously, and wanted to go above and beyond with integration time with the intent of getting this metal printed in a poster sized print.

I originally was going to do 40hrs, and then 40 turned into 50, and 50 into 80+, and after deleting a bunch with planes/faint clouds/poor seeing, I ended up with 71hrs used in the final integration.

This was also my first target using a Ha filter, and I love what it added to the non-Ha version of this image, the deep red hydrogen background really makes Andromeda pop
