Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

Manually guided prime focus photo taken with a Minolta SR-T101 camera mounted on a 203.2mm Meade LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope f/6.3 with a Meade f/6.3 Series 4000 focal reducer for an effective ratio of f/4using Kodak Royal Gold 1000 ASA film with an exposure of 30 minutes at 12:20 AM EDT on August 22, 2001 in Ellenville, NY. This is my first manually guided exposure. The polar alignment was off, hence the shot has some field rotation. Also, there is some vignetting in the image.
