Andromeda Galaxy 12-09-10

I've found a new dark sky site only 20 minutes drive away, so here is

my first test shot of the Andromeda galaxy taken with a 200mm lens

on my unmodded 550D on the Astrotrac, only 37.5 minutes (15 x 150 sec)

F3.5 @ 1600 iso, no filters, no darks, no flats, I just let the photoshop

raw converter take out all the hot pixels.
