Andromeda galaxy · **4 Likes**

I had a ton of fun stumbling around in the darkness with a friend this weekend. I've deleted around 700 useless photos, but was thrilled to get this of the Andromeda galaxy. It is definitely not winning any contests, but it certainly made me want to try again.

20x5s exposures stacked with Sequator.

Now that you have some success, you will be out looking for more. I'd be happy to do that well.

A very nice result for a first attempt. I need to give it a try.

The funniest part of the process was locating Andromeda. I had a whole series of high-ISO photos trying to find and then position it in the frame (and then I centered it which was dumb, placing it to the side would have kept it in the frame for longer).

Next time I'll try to lower the ISO and get ~100 frames.
