Description
At a distance of 2.5 million light years, the Andromeda Galaxy is not accessible by human space travel. To reach it, you'll have to wait a few billion years, until its scheduled collision with our Milky Way - or you conveniently take the cosmic cable car to Andromeda Station...
'Deepscape' images at higher focal lengths are still an uncommon sight and many are composites of a deep sky object over an unrelated foreground, but be assured that this is a real scene. While capturing deep sky image of good quality involves combining many individual sub frames and sophisticated post processing, the cosmic lineup is absolutely real. 'Andromeda Station' is better known as Weisshorn, the highest peak of the ski area in Arosa, Switzerland. Sky and foreground were captured back to back from the same position and with the same equipment and focal length.
