M31 - The Andormeda Galaxy: First Attempt
Skywatcher Equinox ED80
HEQ5 pro
Canon 400d
My first attempt at The Andromeda galaxy and its satellite galaxies - taken a few years back with a 400d with no astro mod (no removal of IR filter) attached to a telescope and tracking system, still came out very nicely. Taken from the Peak District, UK
I have a later attempt in my photostream - i think different aspects of the galaxy are picked up by the modded cam that can not be seen in this image. Interesting to compare - however this was a longer exposure than the modded cam shot was, so i feel with longer the modded cam would out perform this one.
Hard to believe this is an island universe containing hundreds of billions of stars, ancient and vast, lying 2.5 million light years away.
