Got a chance to get more data for my #andromedagalaxy project Thursday night at #skymeadowsstatepark The project’s goal is to get 20 hours of integration time and I am now at 8 hours with 488 sixty second exposures. With this additional data I was able to get more details in the dust lanes and outer areas of the galaxy. . .

The #northamericannebula which is one of the few #nebula that actually looks like what it’s called. This photo was a fun challenge from my #bortle 7 #backyard and I’m very happy I was able to get more colors this time. I’ve added a few extra photos to show some of the steps these photos go through in processing. Total time to process this image was about 3.5 hours.
