The Andromeda Galaxy

I captured an image of the Andromeda Galaxy using my Rokinon 135mm lens at f/2.8, mounted on a Canon 1300D DSLR camera, which was attached to a Star Adventurer 2i pro tracking mount. The settings included 200 images at 50 seconds and 800 ISO, 50 flat frames, and 25 dark frames, all stacked in DSS and processed in Siril and Gimp 2.10. Additionally, I utilized an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask for focusing on a bright star. The image was taken from my back garden under Bortle 5 skies.
