The complete set up:

Thanks - not nearly enough. I frittered away valuable time on the Pleiades while Andromeda was setting. Full story here, but it was thirty 30-second images: https://ae5x.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-an ...

This is thirty 30-second images (at ISO 2500) of the Andromeda Galaxy I took two nights ago from the Davy Crockett National Forest in east Texas. The moon was low and setting; the sky easily ...
