Part of M31 Andromeda Galaxy

Post by weixing »

Hi,
Taken during the Mersing Trip using my Sky-Watcher 120 F8.3 Achromatic Refractor... oh... forget to put the VR filter... :oops:

I think focusing was not that sharp. Also polar alignment was not that accurate, so limited to only 1 minute exposure for each image.

Anyway, the image was the result of stacking 21 x 1 minute exposure at ISO 800 and process in IRIS and Photoshop.

Have a nice day.

Nice shot Weixing...
I've always wondered why Andromeda always looks different from the other Galaxies, including the milky way....mmmm
