Pro tip: caught 4 clear nights in a row in Flagstaff last week and got the best Andromeda shot of my life, now I need help picking what to shoot next | Astronomy Photos - Free To Speak
Four clear nights in Flagstaff is a gift, so dont waste the next one on another galaxy. Shoot something that actually moves. Like a comet or asteroid tracking shot, or a time lapse of the sky rotating. Andromeda sits still forever. You can go back to it anytime. But catching a meteor shower or a satellite pass or even planes crossing a star trail makes people stop scrolling. Plus it tests a whole different set of skills. Try Orion Nebula next if you want color, but only if you shoot it as a mosaic so you learn something new.
