Andromeda Galaxy
The skies at night are now dark enough to get back outside for some astrophotography. Clear enough skies last night set me in motion. Here is a quick stack of the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, our closest galactic neighbour. I didn't do any post-processing on this image to tease the bands out of the disk. It is spectacular in any view. Prince George, BC. Aug 30, 2019

Lens focal length = 300mm
# of frames = 45
ISO=1600
