Description

The Andromeda Galaxy from last September/October. Reminder that it's due to collide with our own galaxy in 5 billion years so watch out for that.

Due to a cat-based laptop event I lost the final Deep Sky Stacker files for this so my total capture time is from memory. It was 25-ish hours of 5 minute exposures, split between broadband and Radian Triad to bring out the glowy H-alpha bits in there. Both stacks were then blended in photoshop for the final image. Turned out pretty ok.
