It's always a pleasure to shoot and process the Andromeda Galaxy. In it's center resides a black hole with 100,000,000 times the mass of our sun wheras our milky way has a black hole with 4,100,000 times the mass of our sun. I tried not to overexpose the core region, so I shot 60 sec subs and used about 45 images to process this image of Andromeda. Images taken with my 8 inch RC telescope and a cooled camera Touptek (ATR3 CMOS 26000 KPA) with IMX571 chip.
Drydock - V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
This drydock is actually next to the Victoria & Alfred Hotel (see note) in the V&A Waterfront. What is unique about our Waterfront is that it remains to be a working harbor whilst also a very popular shopping & social area. This is one of Cape Towns biggest tourist attractions with our beautiful beaches (including blue flag) and of course Table Mountain.
The ferry to Robben Island departs from the Waterfront.
I took this photograph whilst walking back from the aquarium (directly behind me when taking this picture). Yes, you've guessed it - acquarium pics to follow. :)
I shot this through my ASTRO-TECH AT115EDT F/7 ED TRIPLET REFRACTOR with my Nikon D500. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth. In approximately 4.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are expected to collide and the result will be a giant elliptical galaxy. You can also see galaxies M110 (elliptical) and M32.

Não gostei muuito das fotos que tirei mas a Hanami disse pra eu postar essa então ta aí :3 <3
Another astro image - the clouds cleared last night, despite the forecast saying it would be overcast, so I stayed up all night and grabbed 6 hours or data collection on Andromeda. It's not finished as I need to collect further data to refine the image further and collect some data in the hydrogen (red) spectrum to show the nebulae within the spirals. So it's a work in process but still my best to date on this celestial object.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.
The mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at 1 trillion solar masses and it has a diameter of about 220,000 light years.
The number of stars contained in the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at one trillion, or roughly twice the number estimated for the Milky Way.
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in around 4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large lenticular galaxy.
Also visible in this shot are two satellite dwarf galaxies, M32 and M110 (the two other fuzzy star formations to the left and just below Andromeda).

In this video, Ashley and I travel to Starfest in Ontario, Canada. I decided to shoot the Andromeda Galaxy, and didn't realize that it was exactly 5 years after (to the day) to one of my first attempts.
A lot has changed since then, and it feels like it all changed on that night.
This is the bush growing at the neighbors house across the street.. The leaves look a good deal like the Rhododendron but the flowers are nothing alike... These names were listed for it in Google.. Pieris japonica, the Japanese andromeda or Japanese pieris
The beautiful blossoms of Japanese Andromeda (pieris japonica) are sure sign that Spring is on the way, at least in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Hope you have a wonderful day whenever you might see this. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your support -- I greatly appreciate it.

I went up to Mount Shasta on Friday specifically to try to create this image. Inspired by a picture I saw from Paul Schmit and thanks to a suggestion from a friend, I figured out I could get Andromeda rising from behind Mount Shasta and decided to give it a go.
This picture took everything I have learned in 12 years of photography. I used an equatorial tracker to find and stay locked on Andromeda starting from when it was still behind the volcano. As the tracker slowly turned, I kept watching the LCD on the camera to see if and where Andromeda would show up. At 10:56pm on Friday night, it peaked out from behind Shasta, right on schedule. I was literally dancing!
I kept tracking Andromeda for another 35 minutes to get enough exposures to bring out the details in it's spiral arms and to bring out M110 and M32, Andromeda's sister galaxies.
I then rotated the tracker back to center Shasta and took several images of it without the motion of the tracker. All of these images were stacked in Siril and composited in Photoshop. The relative size and placement of Andromeda is exactly as it appeared. I did not enlarge Andromeda to make it stand out. Andromeda is actually 6X wider than our moon, but so faint that the human eye can barely see it.
This is a reprocessing of the first version I posted. I used better astro processing techniques, corrected the color cast, and cropped in more.

Gosh, how difficult is this deep space astro malarkey!
It looks so simple on the Youtube vids - start the tracker off, take a load of shots, stack them, fiddle around a bit in Photoshop, and voila, an awesome image of a Galaxy.
Well, not for me, and I expect its the same for many newcomers to this field of photography.
But it has great appeal in these uncertain times we live in, to be able to do a variant of landscape photography from ones garden.
This is the only successful result of 15 evenings shooting Andromeda. Most evening’s results were fails due to inaccurate tracking as I just cant seem to Polar align to any degree of the required accuracy. Some fails due to lack of focus, and dew on the lens.
I notice its customary to include the technical aspects of the equipment etc, so here goes….

Like a lot of people in lockdown I was looking around for something to photograph, I tried macro, no good at that, I also scared a lot of birds off and I decided I was no good at nature either. So i looked a little further afield and decided to try something completely different. Fired with enthusiasm i searched around for the equipment to do deep space astophotography, only to find that a lot of other people had had the same idea and it was impossible to get the equipment. After a wait of several months the equipment finally turned up and then began the frustrating massive learning curve. This shot of the Andromeda Galaxy is the first partly successful image I have managed to get, I have a long way to go but I am finding it a fascinating journey.

Aquí os comparto mi última astrofoto, se trata de la famosa nebulosa de Ándromeda.
Le tenía ganas, ya que es un objeto relativamente fácil de capturar, y que se puede ver incluso a simple vista en cielos oscuros y con poca contaminación lumínica.
La galaxia de Andrómeda, tiene un diámetro de 220 000 años luz (en lo que respecta a su halo galáctico) y de unos 150 000 años luz entre los extremos de sus brazos. Se encuentra a una distancia de aproximadamente 2,5 millones de años luz de la Tierra. Es uno de los objetos más fascinantes y estudiados por los astrónomos. Está a 2,5 millones de años luz. Es, junto con nuestra propia galaxia, la más grande y brillante de las galaxias del Grupo Local, que consiste en aproximadamente 30 pequeñas galaxias más tres grandes galaxias espirales: Andrómeda, la Vía Láctea y la galaxia del Triángulo.
La galaxia se aproxima hacia la Vía Láctea y se especula con que ambas colisionarán dentro de unos 5860 millones de años, fusionándose en una galaxia mayor, en el evento conocido como Lactómeda. Yo ya tengo preparado mi telescopio para cuando eso ocurra, no sea que me lo pierda... 😂😂😂
EXIF: Es una foto en LRGB+Ha. 3 horas aprox. en Luminancia, y en Hidrógeno alfa; y luego 1,5 horas por cada filtro en R, G y B.
El tubo es un Askar 180, la montura mi UMI17, y la cámara es la Touptek 585Monocromo.

My first attempt at using a Star Tracker.
Not entirely successful with lots of warts and issues with this image, but after wrestling with the tracker for an hour, and as usual, struggling to actually find Andromeda, I was quite amazed that I got anything!

The Moon bottom centre with the Pleiades (7 sisters) slightly higher and to the left, the Andromeda galaxy, Messier M31 is near top just right of centre.
Moonlight illuminates the mist at sea level adding colour.
Some distortion at edges of image, lens almost wide open at f/2.2, not a particularly good optic for this kind of work.
The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth. It is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way and was often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts. It received its name from the area of the sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which was named after the mythological princess Andromeda. Being approximately 220,000 light years across, it is the largest galaxy of the Local Group, which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 44 other smaller galaxies.
