Andromeda Galaxy &
The Pleiades
on 12/28/04
Here are new pictures taken with my new Canon Digital Rebel camera. It was first light for it and I think it did extremely well. I imaged 3 objects on this first night: Comet Machholz, which has its own page, the Pleiades and the Andromeda Galaxy. At 2.2 million light years away, the Andromeda Galaxy is the furtherest object viewable with the naked eye. This picture is a stack of 7 - 30sec images shot with a 200mm F/2.8 (300mm effective focal length with the Digital Rebel) at ISO 1600. The Pleiades or "Seven Sisters" is a star cluster that is
often confused with the "little dipper" by many people. |
