Andromeda Galaxy

December 5, 2015


My first attempt at astrophotography with the iOptron SkyTracker. This works well for eliminating star trails as it tracks the rotation of the earth. This is a stack of 16 thirty second exposures, taken with 100mm f2.8 lens and Canon 7D Mark II. I think there are better ways to do the stacking of photos, something I need to work on. But for now, I'm pretty happy with this. There are two galaxies in this photo, Andromeda and M32 (actually 3 but I can't pick out the third one). You can read more about Andromeda Galaxy at this LINK.
