Reader’s Photo: Andromeda Galaxy
Frank sent us this amazing photo of Andromeda Galaxy taken with his
Canon EOS 350D and SkyWatcher 80ED telescope.
Each dot of light is as star… Are we alone ?
Photographer’s comments:
“I shot this photo with the Canon EOS 350D and the SkyWatcher 80ED telescope (instead of Canon lenses). So, I shot 36 photos of the galaxy during 300 seconds in RAW, 800iso. I take too five darks (a photo with the hood of the Canon, it’s to see the hot’s pixels). Then, with the free software IRIS, I added these images and subtract the dark to suppress the hot pixels. That’s all. Before, it was very difficult to take a photo of galaxy, nebula etc. But now it’s much easier with the numeric. With a classic camera and with a small telescope, you can take a lot of astro photography photos.”

Wonderful colors and nice use of shutter speed. I’d crop the image a little bit more or used the stamp tool in photoshop to get rid of the red balloons on the left.
