The Andromeda Galaxy
This early foray into deep space astrophotography captures the Andromeda Galaxy’s grandeur and brings the cosmos closer to home. Taken in September 2020 with a HEQ-5 mount and a SkyWatcher 120ED Evostar telescope paired with a Nikon D7500 camera and a 200-500mm telephoto lens, the image reveals the sweeping spiral arms and bright core of our galactic neighbor. It’s a stunning example of the beauty that lies beyond our planet, a glimmer of the vast, twirling city of stars, dust, and mysteries that is Andromeda. This celestial snapshot showcases the potential of patience and technology to unveil the wonders of the night sky.
