The Andromeda Galaxy is the Milky Way's closet large
neighboring galaxy at 2.2 million light years away. This is my
first attempt at a wide-field shot of the galaxy. This galaxy is a
challenge to process effectively. I am not terribly happy with the
results. - ISO 800 - F3.8 - 3 minute exposures (x 13); 39 minutes total - Unfiltered - Direct images through the 5" Wright Newtonian Astrograph - Piggyback on the C-14 - Unguided - Location: TDS 01.30.2009 |
