Description

My mount's handbox/computer broke, so I had to resort to taking pictures from a still-standing mount.

The result I find a pleasant reminder you don't need two grand worth of mount in order to photograph our nearest galaxy neighbour


Nikkor 50 mm f 1.8 stopped down to f 2.0
300 frames of 4 seconds at ISO 1600 on a Nikon D600.

Stacked in DeepSkyStacker
Cropped, auto-equalised and then shuffled the curves around in GIMP
