Boost up the Andromeda nebula

Posted on Februar 4th, 2014

As I promissed you last week; here is my 2nd try at the Andromeda galaxy. If you compare them both, you will see how much better this image is. I used a better camera, 5DmkII and I used a better tripod head for the Astrotrac. This time it was possible to use a longer exposer time, until the stars turned to lines. But I saw other images of the Andromeda, so I know I could do this far better. Be prepared for my next try in a while, because at the moment I can’t make good photos of andromeda, it is too near at the horizon.
