Description

My first attempt at capturing the Andromeda Galaxy, or Messier 31. Andromeda is a spiral galaxy, much like our own Milky Way, and is our nearest neighboring galaxy at 2.5 million light-years from Earth. This image consists of 24 sub-frames, each a 1 minute exposure, captured under a full moon in Terlingua, Texas and stacked to enhance dynamic range and reduce noise.
