Just getting started with Deep Sky Object photography. What a totally different and fun new “sub hobby”. Have included a photo of my rig as configured now. So much more to learn but always love a new challenge.
Below are two versions of M31 more commonly known as the Andromeda Galaxy. It’s a “mere” 2.5 million light years away!

Wait. You shot those pictures with that rig? That’s amazing. Details please.
@Paul here’s a list of equipment below. The total exposure for the above images is about 2 hours (40, 3-minute exposures) which believe it or not isn’t very long. Two or three times that would be ideal but the clouds rolled in.
- Telescope: Apertura 75Q, 405mm focal length, F5.6
- Camera: ZWO ASI585MCAir
- Combines the following (3) key functions:
- Main imaging sensor
- Guide imaging sensor
- Wireless interface to control the whole rig
- Combines the following (3) key functions:
- Equatorial Mount: ZWO AM3N
- EAF Pro ZWO electronic auto focuser

Wow. I am not at all familiar with such gear nor the manufacturer. But amazing
Photography is a very fulfilling hobby albeit can get expensive as audio gear. Haha!
