20140726_F0001: Star trails with Milky way and Andromeda

            - A star trails shot with the trails of the brightest stars in the sky over the Milky way on the right side. I'm now quite sure, looking at star maps that the nebulous object to the right of the Milky way is in fact the Andromeda galaxy, which is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and sometimes mistakingly called the Great Andromeda Nebula. I have processed this shot to make it look like clockwise star movement by fading the end of the trails since I exposed my bright Milky way frame first.
