M31 Andromeda Galaxy

This is my first attempt to track and capture M31 The Andromeda Galaxy. Located in the constellation of Andromeda and is the closest galaxy to our own. The small galaxy to the lower left of M31 is M110.

 

This was captured from by back garden using a 70-200 2.8 G2 lens (at 200mm) attached to a Nikon D750 mounted to a Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i. I took 23 images ranging in exposure time from 90 secs up to 189 secs (32 mins total) all at f4 and ISO 800 and then stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and edited in Lightroom.

 

I must admit for a first attempt I am pretty impressed at what I have captured although for more detail I will need to take a lot more images so more work to be done.

 

Thank you very much to you all and hope you like what I captured.
