Description

In 2020, photographer Nicolas Lefaudeux created an incredible image of the Andromeda galaxy, using a tilt-shift technique. It won him the 2020 Astrophotographer of the Year award from the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
I used software to achieve a similar effect here, which while not as striking is still quite pleasing to see 
My first image of Andromeda was taken in September and it was OK. I think things have improved considerably in the last 3 months!
Getting a lot more exposure time has helped.
