Description

First Galaxy image with a proper DSO setup! Maybe an usual first Galaxy target (*wink* Andromeda!)  and I didn't really plan to shoot this but had obstructions blocking my main target so I figured better shoot something then. :-)
Maybe some day getting some serious amount of integration time on this to reveal all that lovely dust around these galaxies.
