M31

Finally my mount is working perfectly again! After replacing the power supply, I was finally able to enjoy astrophotography.

One of my favorite objects to study and photograph is the Andromeda Galaxy — the brightest galaxy in the northern sky and an excellent choice for beginners in astrophotography. I decided to capture it with my camera. Even at 25 minutes of exposure (at 8 bortle) you can see two bright "skis" and two small satellite galaxies (unfortunately, they didn't make it into the frame).

During the shooting process I used standard equipment:
- SW1149 tube
- Maxvision Exos 2 mount with OnStep v5 pro system
- Nikon D5300 camera

Here are the parameters I used to get this photo:
- Light: 30×75
- Dark: 30×15
- Bias: 1/4000×20
- Flat: 1/250×15
- ISO: 1250
