5 nights of dedicated imaging for 15 hours of RGB (combination of 45-second, 1-minute and 3-minute exposures) and 5 hours of narrowband (Optolong l-eXtreme). Honestly, I processed this about four or five times before getting to a result I was satisfied with... future revisions may come!

The Andromeda Galaxy occupies a large field of view. It is both near to the Milky Way and bright enough to see with the naked eye.
First attempt at capturing this galaxy with nothing but an ordinary camera and zoom lens.
Over 2,000 10-second exposures went into stacking 6 panels that were blended to produce this capture of Andromeda with neighboring galaxies M32 and M110.
