M31, K-70, DA*300 on an equatorial mount (HEQ5), exposure time approx 1 hour (50-55 frames), ISO800, stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, PP in PixInsight.

Superb! Among the best tele-astro photos I've seen!

I'm extremely impressed by the Andromeda photo. Sure, you had that equatorial mount and a really long exposure, but... wow.

A damselfly that photobombed a flower picture I was taking.
Sigma 300mm f/4 APO Macro, ISO 100, f/8, 1/100s, popup flash used as a fill flash

Apparently I sucked at my first attempt at uploading this image so I tried again.

Many thanks guys. Corellas are always entertaining (provided there aren't 200 of them roosting in your tree at night).
