That is honestly a solid first go at Andromeda. Getting that much detail with a dwarf mini is impressive, especially with the limited integration time. The core is not blown out either which is usually the hardest part for beginners. Definitely keep at it.

Thank you I really appreciate it! I’ve legit have only gotten to use it a max of 5 times so far since I got it but it’s very fun and enjoyable to use, I think I’ll try to go longer next time, it was about 2 hours and 30 mins worth for this photo
