Overall just 11 minutes of good data from 3 hours of shooting. Due to tracking errors, there was simply not as much good data as I would have liked.
I used my Nikon D850, iOptron Skyguider Pro (with counterweight), and Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6 to image. This is not the ideal setup for imaging deep space objects like Andromeda, but I was impressed with how well it did.
Each frame was 60 seconds, ISO 3200, f/5.6.
Edit: I don’t normally shoot DSO’s, so you can check out my Instagram @danieljstein or website if you want to see some of my other stuff.
2.5 million light years away, there’s an alien amateur astronomer quite pleased about how well his image of what we call the Milky Way Galaxy has turned out.
