Milky Way plus faint Andromeda galaxy

[Gonzo]

I used my Sony RX100

14 lights of 13seconds each

4 darks

DSS & The Gimp (Rubbish processing, still haven't learned this part yet....)

Location: Heidenrod Germany.

Not sure what's going on in the lower corner of the picture, I do know some neighbour had they garden lamp on while I was taking the pictures, it could be this.

It is a dark site, first time really I use this camera to do such shots.

Not expecting much attention with my lack of processing skills....

If anyone want a go at the original file, it was done from Jpeg's so I'm not expecting much.

Hey, I can see the double cluster Nice work.

OK pity about the garden light but don't knock youself, it is a nice shot.

Great that you have overlayed the constellations it certainly helps with the 'where to find Andromeda' question.

I was looking at the same area last night whilst setting up the piggyback ST80.

Thanks for the comments, if I have another clear night this evening I will try to take the same shot but this time using RAW instead of JPG's and take more lights.

Interesting overlay with the constellations, makes it easier for me (a newbie) to understand what I'm seeing -- thanks.

I was looking to see if you captured comet jacques in that as the area covered I think would have included it.

Love the overlay as well.
