Last night it was finally clear again. Opportunity to capture the Andromeda galaxy. Other deep sky objects would have fallen victim to the (almost) full moon.

M31 – Andromeda galaxy

 

Originally it was supposed to be a mosaic, but that didn’t work out. Therefore as a single image, and thus also M110 squeezed hard to the edge.

The image is an HDR from three exposure series and thus consists of

  • 50 x 5 seconds
  • 5 x 30 seconds
  • 75 x 120 seconds

with corresponding dark frames, bias and flat shots.
