Description

This picture is by far to date the best version of Andromeda I've ever captured. I live in a Bortle 7 light pollution zone and am pretty impressed I managed to squeeze out this much detail of the galaxy. This imaging attempt was also the first ever that I utilized Backyard EOS software to remote control my camera, allowing for reliable exposures up to 1 minute long before slight star trailing began to appear whilst using my SkyWatcher Star Adventurer star-tracker.
