Description

The Andromeda Galaxy was probably the second object I imaged after M42 back when I first started astrophotography. I've never had a shot of it I was particularly happy with, especially with such bright skies. This one at least approaches that. Given more time I could shoot a mosaic with a larger aperture, and more integration would probably bring more detail as well. Also I combined Ha data from a completely different shot I made previously, and that was a pain. But I'm happy with this one. I can let M31 rotate out of my skies now and focus on more Fall nebulae.
