Early Andromeda
With all this bad weather heading toward Victoria this week, I made sure to get out there before it arrived. I got up early Wednesday morning and took my first shots of M31 for the season. Photographing at 37 degrees south, this will always be a challenge. There was some fog around but M31 managed to stay above the worst of it during the session.
This is the result of 29 X 1min unguided subs @ 1600 iso on an unmodded Canon 550d. The camera was hooked up to a SW Esprit 100 on a HEQ5pro mount. 30 mins is not enough integration time to capture the detail that the classic M31 shots have. I had to stretch the image a bit to reveal as much as I could before it got too noisey but it's a start and I hope to add more over the next few months.
