Deep Space
Sometimes it's useful to take a closer look at objects in the sky rather than an expansive view. Here are nebula within our galaxy and other galaxies.

Not the Milky Way.
I was shooting a set of final shots with my new Galaxy Camera so I got out the star tracker, set it up and pointed the NX1 at the Andromeda Galaxy(M31). M31 is our closest galactic neighbor(and fellow jackal). You can see it's two satelite galaxies M32 just to the right and below the galactic center and M110 above and slightly left of the galactic center. When I looked at the shots on my camera they looked a bit out of focus, but once I stacked them the shots seemed to work. This is 20 shots @ 30 seconds. I've added the diffraction spikes in post. I think if I shot 40 or 60 shots the plane of stars in the disk would have larger, but I'm pretty happy with this effort.
