Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me out. i took a long exposure pic of the night sky over here and i was wondering what the odd object is i captured (second image). Is it what i hope it is? (Andromeda Galaxy)
Picture was taken at 22:00 in the Netherlands with the camera pointed straight up in the sky.

Yup, that’s it! I’m pretty sure I can see the Triangulum Galaxy in the 1st photo as well
Its probably the andromeda Galaxy due to the “wings” which is the spiral of the andromeda, “visible” from Earth.
It’s definitely Andromeda. You can see the great square of Pegasus that leads to it
What camera? This is an Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda Galaxy is the closest Galaxy btw
Andromeda and a hint of the Milkyway as well as some asterims. I think I can see M45 in there too
Great capture!
This is the Andromeda galaxy (M31), Triangulum Galaxy (M33) is also slightly visible. Along with NGC 7789 near the Cassiopeia constellation and the Double Cluster in the Perseus constellation.
What phone did you use ?
I love seeing people discover Andromeda in the sky for the first time. It seems so minor until you realize you’re looking at a whole other galaxy in the sky. The amazement and wonder is magical.
You also got M34 and C28 – two open clusters
