Andromeda
I grew up reading a lot of sci-fi of this galaxy but never had a chance to image to image it myself. From Melbourne it's quite low, and from my observatory we are talking about as low as where you can see my neighbor's roof in the image. Image of the week by Ross was just too tempting so weather being good I spent half an hour last night on this.
Guiding was mad so I didn't bother guiding because i have no i idea what i would be chasing while imaging this low and close to the roof!
Upper left corner had some sort of obstruction in the image either from roof or dead tree branch. This is not a quality image but let me say i have I enjoyed the end result very much. Taking my portable G11mount somewhere high might be a good idea.
