M31 Andromeda Galaxy - First Attempt [Explored]

Here is finally my first capture of M31 using a zoom lens and a tracking mount ! (I have been waiting it for a long time)

 

The photo itself is a stacking of 22 pictures of 1 minute of exposure time each. I wanted to increase the number of shots in order to reduce the digital noise but the fog came out.

 

Technical Datas :

Canon EOS 600D (unmodified)+ 70-300 mm Tamron lens + meade lxd75

22 x 60 secs exposure

ISO 1600

480 mm (with crop factor) + cropped image

F/6.3

JPEG images proccessed with DeepSkyStacker (the result is better with JPEG than TIFF !) + lightroom
