Description Andromeda Galaxy - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromed…

Taken Sept 23, 2014 at Cave Run Lake State Park near Morehead, Kentucky.

A color image this time of this Galaxy. I posted a BnW a number of months back. Finally did a color image using the same sub frames taken the night of the camera work at Cave Run Lake.

80mm f7.5, 3 element refactor. 4 of 4 minute exposures. 3 of 3 minute exposures. Making a 25 minute total exposure. 80mm, f/7.5 Russian Telescope. 600mm focal length. Sony DSL camera. a5000.  None guided.  The mount I used does not have a guiding port.  I was lucky and got great 4 minute and 3 minute exposures without guiding. This mount rocks. Older SP Vixen.

I wanted to shoot 16 to 20 exposures but the night closed in. Very cold and moisture started forming on the scope faster then I could remove it. So I think the color is not all that bad for the small number of sub exposures.

Darkroom work with Lightroom post stacking.

Home! (I've come to the eventual conclusion that I'm not from around here.)
