Here is our shot of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy with companion galaxies M32 and M110, taken with the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. This shot was "first light" for this camera. The telescope used was our Orion 80ED refractor on a Meade LXD55 mount. Guiding was manual with a 50mm guidescope. The image has been drastically reduced from its original 10-megapixel size for display on this web page. A small copy of the raw stack is included below the image for reference.


Here is a small copy of the raw, unprocessed stack used to produce the shot of M31 and companion galaxies above. The original image is 3888 x 2592 pixels...much too big for this webpage!
