Description

This is around 10hrs of data captured a few months apart with my old Skywatcher 72ED. Andromeda is (as many would agree) a fantastic target, especially for beginners, but it can be tricky to balance the bright core with the fainter regions at the edges.

This photo is my 4th or 5th attempt at processing it, and I will no doubt my coming back to this in the future.
