Description

As big as it is in this uncropped Esprit 120/ASI1600 frame, Andromeda can be a challenge to frame diagonally to get maximum resolution. As an uncropped stacked frame, it certainly took a little trickery with the guide scope and grid in PHD2 to keep it centered before and after the Meridian flip. Always a fun target to try again each year.
