Andromeda Galaxy 2008

Yes, missed this post as well.
Man youz were scraping the trees on this image.

Well done to get such a nice image Andrew.

I see it out in my North, and on the odd occasions visually observed it.
But to get an image is something else.

Nice work!

All the best

That's a great shot Andrew - well done!

Perhaps you just didn't know you're not supposed to be able to image Andromeda well from these latitudes?

Cheers, Marcus

LOL Thanks Marcus, glad you saw it and thanks for the kind words.
It surprised me too to image it while it's so low in the north.

How does one (living in Canberra) take images of Andromeda when it's so low in the sky?

Will I have to travel somewhere to do so or is there a time in the near future it will be higher in the sky?
