Bit of a cross post from the amateur astronomy thread in DIY & Hobbies, but I figure some people over here may be interested as well. I spend my spare time and clear nights armed with telescopes and camera doing long exposure astrophotography, I'm very much a beginner at this point, but here is my latest effort, the andromeda galaxy.

And a moon shot from a few months back.

I've got a lot to learn yet, but it's been good to get results.

Amazing. I had no idea Andromeda is that big, and could be photographed with such relatively obtainable equipment. Where did you take the shots though? I imagine somewhere remote and high? With a little air pollution, light pollution and atmosphere getting in the way?
