M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy is a major showpiece in our skies. It’s always fun to try and image it. ASI2600MC and Esprit120ED F5.5, 91x120s at gain 0.

Mighty Andromeda
Mars between the fuzzies
With Mars decreasing in size, maybe it was time to get a different angle on the red planet. This is a widefield view of the planet on it’s patch of Pisces sky at December 20th. The whole field is filled with galaxies, some of which very very small.
The image displays a halo that results from bright Mars reflecting in the optics.
The exposure was limited to 27x10s and 7x30s at gain 0 with an ASI2600MC camera and an Esprit 120ED @ F5.5
