"The amazing part is not that the dog talks well, it's that he talks at all."
The nucleus of the Andromeda Galaxy imaged with a point-n-shoot digital camera.
Our "nearby" neighboring galaxy Andromeda contains a mind staggering trillion stars, but "only" a billion or so are in the nucleus region imaged above. It took 2.5 million years for the light from that galaxy to reach my camera lens, or our eyes - this is the only naked eye galaxy in the Northern Hemisphere. On a very clear night even to my old eyes it looks like a small glowing cloud.
Virtually all the stars we see at night, including the ones in this photo, are part of the Milky Way, our galaxy.

I know what you're thinking. What, that blob? So what? Well, try it with a 105mm untracked and unstacked and get back to me. I only post this as a reference - I want to compare it with different levels of increasing light gathering and tracking ability (as I anticipate a new scope soon). Vignetting added to simulate telescope view, and some sharpening.
M31, the Andromeda Galaxy taken on the night of November 3rd, 2010. 22x5 minute exposures at ISO 800, autoguided. Total exposure time: 110 minutes. Scope used was an AT66 fitted with a field flattener. Camera was a Nikon D50. Stacked with DeepSkyStacker using 40 dark frames, 20 flat frames, 30 dark flat frames, and 30 offset/bias... frames. Post processing in Photoshop CS3 using levels, curves, color balance, selective hi pass filter, and unsharp filter.
I finally figured out how to use flat frames effectively. Made a big difference this time. Turns out that it's better to just eyeball your flat frames rather than relying on the numerical advice I've been reading.
I thought I would see if I could get a shot of the Andromeda galaxy with minimal equipment. So this is taken with the Sony A300 with a modest zoom of 60 mm, ISO 3200, f4, with 11 exposures of 8 sec stacked with DeepSkyStacker. This galaxy is 2.5 million light years from us and is the nearest galazy outside of the Milky Way. It is the furthest object visible to the naked eye, though it's difficult to see without binoculars where it appears as a fuzzy wisp of cotton as in this photo. See large size.

New Andromeda with a new scope, Skywatcher Startravel 102, EQ3, Prime focus 500mm with a canon 11100D. 19 lights at 59s, 10 darks, ISO 1600.
Quite pleased with this as the tracking wasn't set up perfectly.

Andromeda, 2023- Photographic mixed media. Fresh work from an ongoing series "I Have My Ways of Praying." This is my week to post the last of the Autumn colors I caught before the frost sets in.
First astrophotography from the new place. Only 3 hours of usable data, had to throw away a lot due to clouds..Going to start building an observatory to maximize collection time.

2 Meteors and Andromeda. This was an unplanned capture, I was just testing the new camera and just happened to capture 2 meteors and the andromeda galaxy in the shot. I believe this is the Orionid meteor shower. I've never seen Andromeda before, let alone captured it.
This is a copy of the Andromeda Galaxy photo with annotations added. There are actually 3 galaxies visible. The largest is Andromeda, also known as M31. The second largest in the picture is a satellite galaxy of Andromeda known as the Elliptical Galaxy or M110. The 3rd galaxy appears the same size as a star. It is also a satellite galaxy of Andromeda known asthe Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy or M32. The brightest star in the picture is a magnitude 2 star know as Mirach. When you view the full size picture you can also see a diagonal line that is probably a satellite that was passing just as the exposure was finishing. Total exposure time was 5 minutes and 27 seconds. The "secret" to this picture was the wonderful dark skies our near Barry's Bay, plus the telescope mount to track the stars during the exposure.

Til ECCO Walkathon skal du møde en ny ven. Han hedder Evin, og du kan se ham her på siden. Evin kommer fra planeten Eris i den fjerne galakse Andromeda, millioner af lysår fra Jorden. Nu er Evin kommet på besøg på Jorden. Her har han mødt den skøre professor Orcus,og sammen finder de på masser af sjove ting og mærkelige fiduser.

Incoming! The Andromeda galaxy will be colliding with our Milky Way galaxy in about 4.5 billion years....give or take a few days. This image is a combined 90 minute exposure using sixty frames.
Mass Effect: Andromeda takes you to the Andromeda galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way. There, you'll lead our fight for a new home in hostile territory - where WE are the aliens.
