Andromeda Galaxy

I photographed the Andromeda Galaxy on a recent camping trip.

 

(Video: youtu.be/yu8WZfb4nGk)

 

The image include 67 x 2-minute exposures at ISO 800 using a Canon 60Da DSLR camera.

 

The telescope used was a William Optics Zenithstar 73 APO, which is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite scopes.

 

Unlike when shooting from home, I was able to swap a light pollution filter for a UV/IR to collect natural colors. Man, so much more enjoyable to process!

 

Total Exposure: 2 Hours, 14 Minutes

 

Camera: Canon EOS 60Da

Filter: Optolong UV/IR

Telescope: William Optics Z73 APO

Mount: Sky-Watcher HEQ5

 

Thanks for looking!
