  • How did you know it was focused right on your camera? Did you do examples then took the photo ?

  • @vwlover94 Hey vwlover, I focused on a nearby star. Then when I slewed to Andromeda - even although it was not visible on the camera - I knew it would be in focus. You should set your camera on manual focus. Good luck!

  • wow this is nice, hey what was the iso setting? :)

  • @vwlover94 I normally use the maximum ISO - it would have been 6400. You can see how grainy each image looks. But once they are added together (stacked ) in Deep Sky Stacker they grain disappears. The more images you have to stack the smoother the final image looks.

  • @paulkazjack Hi, for DSO use something like a 32mm, or 40mm - if you can get a 2" eyepiece the views will be even better. The video did not use an eyepiece, the camera was directly attached the the telescope.

  • I have an 8 inch skywatcher and in moderately light polluted sky can not see the faintest 'smudge' of andromeda. I'm definately looking in the right place... just isn't visible.

  • @JamesJames4 What size eyepieceis being used? I dont know which one to get for my nexstar for DSO's.

  • @vwlover94 I used maximum ISO 6400 on my camera

  • @paulkazjack The scope was an 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain

  • @Hubieee Yes that's right, andromeda is the farthest object visible with the unaided eye and all star clusters visible from earth are inside our own Milky Way Galaxy.

  • btw, andromeda is the only object out of our universe that can be seen by our own eyes without any enlargement (not sure about some star clusters yet).
