NGC224/M31/Andromeda @ 200mm

Hi Astro-lianos

I havent astro-imaged since Feb, So took a chance out at Leyburn last weekend, seeing/transparency was not great, Frinight was best @ 6/10 at times ! I was quite fortunate to purchase an 'L'series Canon 70-200 F/2.8 Lens which has been dying for some sky ? Very happy with its performance in such conditions, so thought to share a humble effort ?

Here is 4x3min exposures @ 200mm unguided of Our neighboring Galaxy Andromeda 2.5 miilion LY distant which apparently caught the attention of Captain James Cook back then !
