My second try at taking the Andromeda galaxy
This time I took more care on aligning my mount and also better focus using a focusing ring I printed that clamps onto my lens (see #🖨-3d-printer-factory message), still not prefect though
Hope I can get a Bahtinov mask printed for next time
Also should stop down my lens down a bit more I think, atleast I saw allot of other images taken with my lens at F/8 or even slower
More images and less moon this time
Overall pretty happy though, more detail and less noise than last time
