Description

My next Astro project is finished. And yes, this is actually my first image of M31 ;-)

About 20 years ago I saw Andromeda for the first time in one of my first photographs at night. Since then, it has been a big dream of mine to be able to photograph her "in large". And this dream has finally come true.

Luckily, I had many clear nights in September, so I had enough frames together by the end of September.

For the image, I combined RGB data with DNB data from my OSC. I went through many internal revisions over the last two weeks until I had a perfect workflow and was happy with the result.
