Description

I captured this image of the Andromeda galaxy at the John Glenn Astronomy Park right next to Hocking Hills in Ohio. There is so little light pollution there that I can see the arms of the Milky Way with my naked eye. Editing this image felt like a breeze simply because I didn’t have to deal with any light pollution making the base image harder to work with. Compared to my previous Andromeda images, there’s a massive boost in quality with this one, and so far it’s the picture of which I’m most proud.

I feel as though I’ve “leveled up” with this image. Having a picture of the Andromeda galaxy that looks like this is something I’ve dreamed of, and I feel like I’ve taken a good few steps up the metaphorical staircase of this hobby.
