DEEP SKY GUIDE : Messier 31 the amazing ANDROMEDA Galaxy | Local Galaxy Group Observe and Image DSLR

The amazing Andromeda Galaxy M31 is a fantastic visual and imaging target located near Andromeda the in Triangulum. This Galaxy is wonderful in most optics, from wide field searching to long focal length, I use f5 and find them fascinating. Observing and Astrophotography, I used my 200pdswith the QHY163m to gather the data for the live view as well as the light frames for the photo. Visual observing Them is easy once you locate it and rewarding with this target as it is a great test of seeing conditions, and you can really tease out detail as you get familiar with it over the months and years and during august is a great target for the nights of the Meteor shower. I hope that these videos can give you an idea of how the night sky can look at the eyepiece of a 200 PDS, 200p, 300p flextube or any 200mm 8 inch or 300mm 12 inch reflector telescope and using a DSLR or Mirrorless camera. I find when trying to purchase a telescope, it is hard to find out what you can see through the eyepiece . ---------------------------Contents----------------------------------- 0:00 INTRO 0:49 LOCATING 1:49 M33 Galaxy 3:00 local Group 4:05 NGC 206 4:56 Mayall II Globular 5:48 PHOTOGRAPHY 6:59 OBSERVING 8:33 Observing notes 10:55 Final Thoughts 12:22 Final Photos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW ► INSTAGRAM -   / myastronights   ***Not affiliate links Just a link to the specs of the stuff I use :) *** EQUIPMENT ► SKYWATCHER 200PDS - https://ktectelescopes.ie/collections...
