I found it in a sticker book, but I can't seem to find any constellations that match it, I thought it was Sagittarius at first, but the more I look at it, the more ambiguous it becomes
Is this anything, or just some random stars?
Can anyone help me identify any consolations or anything of interest in these pics I took over the mourn mountains, Newcastle Northern Ireland on 1 March 2025 at 19:45
Thanks in advance stars💫✨
Hello everyone! This is my stacked photo of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It's made from 15 frames, 15 seconds each, shot with DeepSkyCamera on a Samsung A25 (tripod). My mistake - I shot in PNG instead of RAW, and I didn't take darks or flats. I'll fix that next time. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker, processed in Photoshop. This is my second stack. ISO 950.
For those who want to find M31 themselves:
Look at Cassiopeia - the 'W' shape. Take the two rightmost stars: Caph and Schedar.
Draw an imaginary line from Caph through Schedar, and extend it downward about two times the distance between those two stars. You'll reach Almach (γ Andromedae).
From Almach, move slightly to the right - you'll see Mirach (β Andromedae).
From Mirach, go a bit upward. There you should see a faint, fuzzy patch - that's M31!
Thanks for reading! Clear skies and good luck!!
Shot with a Nikon D850, about an hour of data from my backyard.

Moved my bed outside, due to the heat, in Corsica, and this was my ceiling .
Well, they just appear to be a big cluster of starts.
But it was taken facing NE 60*.
I’m sure somebody here’s got to know it
I used night mode on my camera to get a better shot of the stars btw the sky isnt actually that bright rn lol
