Lost in Space.

A wide field view of the autumn Milky Way from the tail end of Cygnus on the left, to Perseus on the right.

With so many stars captured in this photo, it's hard to see familiar constellations. But you can see the Andromeda galaxy as a small oval near the upper edge of the frame. (Dark, indistinct silhouettes along the lower left edge of the frame are the shadows of a couple trees.)

The second graphic is a sky simulation from planetarium software. The red wire frame box shows the coverage of the photo in the context of a very large portion of the sky.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌌✨ Astrophotographer Ian Lauer demonstrates why exposure time matters by photographing the #Andromeda Galaxy for 10 seconds, 10 minutes, and 10 hours. The longest exposure reveals dust lanes, companion #galaxies, and details invisible to shorter captures.

I captured the Andromeda Galaxy with an integration time of seven hours and forty-five minutes. 😊

This photograph captures a lucky moment when a brilliant fireball from the Perseid meteor shower appears to graze the Andromeda galaxy.
