Capturing the Andromeda Galaxy in an Astrophotography Image is a treat from dark skies, but you can capture something extra from city skies: hydrogen-alpha light. In this video I walk through my steps for collecting the light and then combining imagery from multiple locations and sessions into one integrated HaRGB image in Pixinsight.
