Date/Time of photo:

September 2013

Equipment:

GSO Newtonian 8" Telescope - Canon EOS 50D modified - EQ5 SinScan Mount - Orion SkyGlow Imaging Filter - GSO Coma Corector

Description:

Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way with less than 2.5 million laght-years distance. Because of its enermous dimensions, I could not take a photo of its entire disk by my telescope, so I used the panorama technique to achieve this objective. The photo consists of 3 separate parts and two other dwarf galaxies (M32 and M110) can be seen near the Andromeda.
