Image taken in our backyard with my Canon 600d DSLR fixed to my new Altair Astro 66mm Lightwave refractor mounted on my star adventurer mount. |
The photograph below shows the the full frame taken by my camera and from which the above images were taken and enhanced using a number of different software packages.
Not bad for a little 'scope' with only a 66mm.objective lens and a focal length of 400mm. Astounding when you realise that M31 and its gravtationally bound sibling galaxies are on average 2.5 light years distant or put another way 23,651,321,000,000 kilometres away!
