Last weeks a lot of nights have been ruined by either the weather or the bright moon. After a visit to a Richard Dawkins event at Circus in Stockholm it was clear however that this was going to be a clear and dark night, so me and Jakob prepared ourselves. At the last minute however Jakob’s employer called and so he was forced to go to his office and I got a solo night beneath the stars. The night was clear and cold and everything worked out well.

The primary object for the night was M78 but I started with M31 while waiting for Orion to climb above the trees. I think the result was quite good even though I know it could be better with a longer exposure… already waiting for the next opportunity 😉

M31 – Andromeda Galaxy
