M31 The Andromeda Galaxy

My backyard, Longmont, CO

Finally, I get the photo of M31 I've been trying for! 70 - 2 minutes exposures stacked using Deep Sky Stacker. And using a camera lens, not a telescope - my Pentacon 500mm f/5.6 mounted on my Meade LXD55 GEM. Also visible are satellite galaxies M32 and M110. Not half bad considering my light polluted urban skies..

Canon EOS 5D ,Pentacon 500mm f/5.6
