Description

This is a 50 mm wide field image of the Triangulum and Andromeda area showing the two famous galaxies M 31 and M 33. Near the upper edge, a bit to the left there is the open cluster NGC 752. The bright star a bit below the center of the image is Mirach (Beta Andromedae).

This is the first image with my new Sigma 50 mm F1.4 ART lens and I'm quite happy with the result. Besides the two "main characters" in the image, there are a few small background galaxies also visible, for instance "Mirach's Ghost" (NGC 404), a +10m galaxy just to the right of the +2.1m Mirach.

I integrated the subs using 2x drizzle because of the massive undersampling using 50 mm focal length and 3.76 micron pixels. It results in the insane image size, but stars remain nice and round even when zoomed in...
