Andromeda Galaxy: Another Attempt

Here's my latest effort at capturing the magnificent Andromeda Galaxy (M31). This image is the result of approximately 3 hours of total exposure time, taken under Bortle 6 skies.

Equipment Used:

  • Camera: Fujifilm X-T3
  • Lens: TTArtisan 500mm F/6.3
  • Mount: Sky Adventurer GTi

The Image:

I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially considering the conditions and the equipment. The detail in the spiral arms and the core is starting to become more apparent.
