The Andromeda Galaxy
M31 was one of the first objects I tried photographing and it is the one I failed the most with. Multiple optics, cameras, filters, exposure times - no matter what I tried in the past, I just couldn’t get a good shot out of the data. With this one now, I’m pretty pleased, though.
