My first attempt to capture the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of the Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.

I have captured Light Frames 250, Dark Frames 17, Bias Frames 15 and this will take time to process as I have to capture more frames to stacked.

Celestron Edge HD 8, Focus reducer lens .07X, Sony mirrorless camera with Orion StarSeeker IV GoTo Altazimuth Mount & Tripod, ISO 5000 and 4 sec exposure.
