My best andromeda photo to date for sure! 339 frames
Andromeda Galaxy 28 minutes 50mm F1.8 iso 800 bortle-9

Took a lot of fiddling to get a good setup going!

edit: Re-submitted the zoomed in crop pic. Higher contrast and more details!

I think Andromeda is most people's first galaxy photo. In fact, it's probably the first galaxy people see for the first time through an eyepiece.
I can still remember the excitement of my first Andromeda photo. Congrats on the image. Now it's time to dive down the astrophotography rabbit hole and keep improving. Plenty of folks around here to help if needed and a plethora of info/help online. I can't wait to see your improvements over time.
