First Astrophoto! M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy

[Kowspot]

Hey Guys!

I've been hanging out here for a while just gathering information on astrophotography techniques and tips. Well finally the other night I was able to go out and get some shots of M31! I didn't attempt to do an accurate drift alignment since it was 20 degrees F, so was limited to 15s exposures but I'm exstatic with the results Let me know what you think!

And also thanks to everyone for all your help I wouldn't have known where to start if not for you guys!

Oh I just meant it was 20 degrees outside so it was freezing cold So I didn't want to mess around with an accurate alignment haha
