Andromeda Clouds in HaRGB
Here is an image of Andromeda Clouds in HaRGB, with 23 hours of total exposure.
Captured during 6 nights of New Moon from Pioz, Guadalajara, Spain.
It is the biggest project I have done since I started doing astrophotography and it is an honor for me to be one of the few astrophotographers who have photographed these strange clouds in color.
