Andromeda is a deep sky target that eludes me from my location. It's visible to the north from where I live (South Africa) but appears very low on the horizon, making successful long exposure imaging near impossible. To capture this, I traveled to the USA for astro imaging, read the full story here:
www.astrotanja.com/chasing-andromeda/
Andromeda is around 2,5 million light years from earth.
When photographed, it appears roughly 6 times the size of the full moon. It's visible with the naked eye, albeit only the central core, in dark non-light polluted areas.

Otro intento con Andrómeda.
Usé la EM1.2 y el Zuiko 75-300 a 300mm, a f8, ISO 1600, un buen puñado de lights, darks y bias. Procesada con SIRIL y PS.
Espero que os guste.
Another try with Andromeda.
I used the EM1.2 and the Zuiko 75-300 at 300mm, at f8, ISO 1600, a good handful of lights, darks and bias. Processed with SIRIL and PS.
I hope you like it.
This huge galaxy is the nearest galaxy to us and it equals six full moons across the sky. It’s double the size of our Milky way galaxy and located 2.5 million light years from Earth. This galaxy is the farthest object that could be seen by the naked eye from a dark sky. It’s moving toward our galaxy in a speed of 110km/sec. It will collide Milky way in 3.75 billion years. Total exposure is 3 hours. Light subs 60 x 180 sec, Darks 20, Flat 20, Bias 50. Gear setup: Celestron RASA 8 @ f/2.0, iOptron GEM 45 guided by ZWO Mini guide scope and ZWO 120MM-S, Optolong L-Pro filter, ZWO 2600MC @ 0, Celestron Motor Focuser.

This is my latest attempt at the Andromeda Galaxy with my William Optics Redcat 51. The great Andromeda Galaxy known also as Messier31 is our nearest neighbor at a distance of about 2,500,000 light years away. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

📍Location
Bright suburban light pollution, Class 6 of darkness in Bortle scale.
+ 2 satellite galaxies, M32 & M110; closest galaxy to the Milky Way, about 2.5 million light years away
30 x 20s exposures @ 800 mm (10 minutes integration time), ISO 800 (Nikon Z8 + pf f/6.3)
tracked on a ZWO AM5N mount; not guided
stacked in DSS & post-processed in Siril
the pf element introduced significant coma aberration that had to be corrected in post-processing

The Andromeda Galaxy is our nearest neighbour and lies 2.5 million light years away and estimated to contain twice the amount of stars than our own Milky Way Galaxy.
Tech Stuff: Borg 55F/ZWOASI 522MC/IDAS LPS D2. 2 Hours of 15 second unguided exposures. From my yard in Westchester County NY, Bortle 7.
Getting better at the noise reduction techniques. Almost as you would see Andromeda with your naked eyes in a large telescope.
Using Asi294mm pro. WO Magrez90. About 4 hour of integration using RG and Ha.

Andromeda theatre - Reina Rock, Sicily
Esiste un luogo, non lontano da Agrigento, nel quale tra monti che sembrano scolpiti da una mano d’artista, un cielo il cui colore rievoca atmosfere quasi mistiche e l’abbagliante verde dei boschi e dei prati, vive e lavora uno scultore-pastore dall’anima eclettica: Lorenzo Reina; il quale ha fondato a mille metri d'altezza un Luogo dell'immaginazione e della rappresentazione, un teatro all’aperto, costruito in vent’anni di lavoro, pietra su pietra, è uno dei suoi capolavori da poco terminati.
my first decent image of this galaxy. Taken in Sedona, Arizona using a new Radian Raptor 61 and a Rebel 6Ti mod camera. 75 X 3 min. Processed in Pixinsight, Photoshop and Lightroom. 2.5 million light-years away and on a collision course with our Milky Way in about 4.5 billion years.

Mono Lake is a crazy place to shoot during sunset. Loaded with crowds of people, it's so hard to find a decent composition where no one is in your shot. But when the sun goes down and the stars come out, the crowds thin out. Here's a popular spot to shoot at Mono Lake capturing the tail end of the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy. Sadly it's the wrong time of year to get the Milky Way to line up with the tufa but I still love the colors in the sky.
Mono Lake
Lee Vining, California
Although several dozen minor galaxies lie closer to our Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to ours. The Andromeda galaxy is the brightest external galaxy you can see. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s the most distant thing most of us humans can see with the unaided eye.
