Andromeda setting over the Himalayas

I have always been fascinated with deepscapes and it becomes more exciting for me when that includes andromeda. Even after photographing it for so many times from so many places, its sheer size in our night sky never fails to amaze me!
The present image depicting the setting andromeda over the Singalila range was captured on the last day of my Singalila National Park tour and was also the last image of the tour. It was also the only deepscape image I was able to photograph over four days. And this happened because of the horizon, which remained almost always hazy making it near impossible to get a decent image.
I started this image when andromeda was around 20° above the horizon and ended when it was around 8° altitude after an hour. This was followed by the images of the foreground part. During processing the image, I was surprised to find hints of IFN showing up in the image. Considering the little integration time and how low it was, I never expected to come across IFN. However, I went gentle with the background stretching as it was meant to be a deepscape image.
