Andromeda Galaxy

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Well this is work in progress!

I finally got a chunk of night with no moon and clear skies, so my camera has been taking 1 minute 20 second subs of Andromeda Galaxy for the last hour, and I've now changed the batteries.

I have no idea how well it's tracking or if the focus is bang on :-0 but he exposure seems to be pretty good.

If it can stay clear until 11:30 I hope to have something worth showing off tomorrow….

Here we go M31 the great galaxy in Andromeda, possibly a bit too saturated, perhaps still some work to do on this:

Small galaxy at the top is M110, the little round one underneath is M32.

Hello Neil,

Keep a look out for the bit of round metal that launched itself into outer space when it came loose in the chuck. I think it went in that general direction

Nice one. I struggle to photograph the moon, never mind a galaxy that will collide with ours👍

Terrific stuff Neil, very rewarding when you get photos like that.

Following some good advice on tweaks, I'm on iteration number 9, which is really more like number 49…
