Northern jewels
A few nights back, while waiting for comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) to pop up, I thought I’d have a crack at capturing these two jewels of the northern sky: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33).
Down here in the southern hemisphere, these two barely scrape the horizon, making it a real mission to snap a clear shot—especially in just one night. With them so low and the seeing being absolutely crook, this wide-field image wasn’t an easy get. But hey, when you’ve got the night sky calling, you’ve just gotta give it a go, no matter how tricky it is!
