An interim stack of multiple sessions for a 2022 project to achieve as detailed an M31 as possible.
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!
Captured from our villa in Grand Cayman using the portable Sky Watcher Star Adventurer GTi mount.
The Andromeda Galaxy for 24 minutes in one-shot color.
A dramatic version of M31 with a bit more saturation combined from 6 1/2 hours of exposure taken over the course of 2022.
A first look at the Andromeda Galaxy as it reappears in the fall of 2022. Captured unguided on the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Mini (SAM).
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.
