Thank you :) I didn't initially think it would turn out like this. This is my first year doing astrophotography, and this is probably my best shot so far. In February, I didn't get a chance to photograph Andromeda—I was really looking forward to it and finally got it. Even though I shot from a yellow zone and without an astronomical night. I hope to gather a few more hours of data and add to what I already have. And with the processing, it took me three days to find the optimal approach. I think I still need to work on the stars a bit more and polish the image to perfection.
