Andromeda galaxy (M31)
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
The Andromeda galaxy shot with a Canon 20D using a 70-200/4L lens set to 126mm and F/5.6. A stack of 17 frames at iso800, each exposed for 30 secods (total exposure 17×30s = 8.5 min). Unguided EQ-6 mount. A hint of M31’s smaller companions M32 and M110 is visible.
Cassiopeia

A single 8 minute iso800 exposure of Cassiopeia through a Canon 17-40/4L lens at 17mm and F/5.6. The Andromeda galaxy (M31) is visible at the bottom center.
From the same night as my earlier Cygnus photo. This one is not as good with some light pollution or dew-problems at the left. The red artifact in the lower right corner is the same amplifier noise that’s visible in the cygnus photo. My home-made lens hood causes vignetting.
