(M-31) Andromeda Galaxy
August 19th, 2017
Our most nearby galactic neighbor. My first time imaging this relatively large angular object, had a problem with hot pixel streaking (added random noise in post to suppress but it's a problem I encounter sometimes with my canon) . It's definitely not one of my best but it's still my start of galaxy imaging. Object was also located in a more light polluted portion of my sky so the work to eliminate that was more difficult as well. Will most likely have to shorten exposures next time.
Capture:
Orion Newtonian Astrograph 8"
(F/4): Canon 550D
Exposures: 16x119"
ISO 1600
Stacking: DeepSkyStacker
Processing: Photoshop for curves, color alteration, noise reduction.
