This is the Andromeda Galaxy M31. It's one of the ones I took longer images of last week to get more detail in them at Joshua Tree which is a Bortle 3 sky (Pretty Dark).
It's a rushed editing job with my mom in the hospital, but I wanted to get a go at this one since I didn't like my earlier attempt from weeks prior that I didn't post. Learning to pull details from Galaxies seems to be a bit different then Nebulas, and so it's a work in progress as I continue to learn.
38 - 3min exp at ISO 800
16 - Dark Frames
10 - Bias Frames
SkyGuider Pro - Tracking Mount
Nikon D850 with Tamron 150-600mm at 300mm
I am not totally happy with this, but I am happy with it if that makes sense. I hope to improve upon this in the future.
All comments are welcome,
Jim
