M31 - Andromeda Galaxy [Astrophotography]

After I have spent hours to watch the starry sky, I tried to realize a image of our nearest neighbor galaxy : Andromeda M31.

 

 

Wihtout using a tracking mount, I took 64 images (+ 20 darks) that I superimposed with DeepSkyStacker software.

 

 

In order to improve the clarity of the photograph, I used lightroom. But the focus is not perfect unfortunately...
