Let's Photograph the Andromeda Galaxy

25 49



The Telescope Used (Z61) ➡️

I’ve just returned from a memorable deep sky astrophotography camping trip with Rudy.

Using the new William Optics Zenithstar 61 APO, I captured over 2 hours worth of total exposure time on the Andromeda Galaxy.

My TOP 5 Astrophotography Telescopes for Beginners:

The telescope and Canon DSLR were mounted to an iOptron SkyGuider Pro camera mount to track the night sky.

My final image includes 70 x 2-minute images at ISO 1600. 40 Dark calibration frames were used to help reduce noise.

Andromeda Galaxy Photo Details:

Total Exposure: 2 Hours, 18 Minutes (70 Frames)
120-second exposures at ISO 1600

Camera: Canon Rebel T3i/600D (full spectrum mod)
Telescope: William Optics Zenithstar 61 APO
Mount: iOptron SkyGuider Pro
Polaroid Remote Shutter Cable:

My full deep-sky rig (ED102) was used for visual observations and a future deep-sky imaging project (Iris Nebula).

    14:25 I actually got emotional and almost teared up. Im not even sure why. I guess it’s just so shocking and beautiful to know that places like that are actually up there. Inconceivable.
