Four other galaxies are visible in that photo! It’s crowded out there!
Looks like this was done through a huge observatory telescope.

I love astronomy too and just bought a go-to Mount for my astrophysics 106 Traveller scope.
Will prob start with my Nikon D 500 and T adapter, then progress to a dedicated Astro camera.
What did you use for your incredible photo?

The Traveler is a great scope! Starting off with a 4” refractor is a smart way to go. Do you have a Field Flattener for it?

So you took the posted pic? Impressive!
Imagine what Galileo would have done with gear like that!

I need to learn more about the equipment and process. Love, love, love this photo. What fun you had making this pic. Thank you for letting me enjoy your work.
We have a local astronomy group, with a pretty good size telescope. The member also have their own equipment. Maybe I can join up and find a way to have this kind of fun experience.

Joining a local astronomy group is a great idea. They will a lot of knowledge to share and recommendations to offer.
