M31 Andromeda Galaxy

M31 Andromeda Galaxy

This picture also includes M32, a small galaxy just above M31's core, and M110, another small galaxy below M31's core. I have taken many pictures of this galaxy over several decades, and this is my best one yet. My goal has been to replicate a photo by Jacques Lebreque, a professional astronomer from the 1960's that was hanging on my father-in-law's (also a professional astronomer) wall for many years. I think I'm almost there!br/ Date: 2021-09-07br/ Location: Ardoch, North Frontenac, ONbr/ Equipment: Z73 + M100 unguidedbr/ Settings: 30s, ISO 6400 stack of 50 lights, 21 darks, 20 flats in Sequator.br/ Processing: PixInsight to adjust levels, adjust colours, sharpen and noise reduction.
