Andromeda Galaxy...

[Sterrenland]

Another stunning night last night...although obviously very short. By 2am there was already some light towards the east. The Milky Way was stunning....as were the sheer number of satellites I saw criss-crossing the sky.

This was my first proper attempt to get M31 and although it appeared quite low in the murk I managed 2hrs20mins of shots. The plan was to shoot some shorter subs for the core, which I did, but in the end I've used HDR Multiscale Transform to tone down the core a little. I've also gone for a relatively subdued colour palette. Reckoned to hold a trillion stars it's another of those sights that provoke wonder.

You last statement, right on the nose.
