Hello, this is my first attempt at capturing the Andromeda Galaxy. I'd like some feedback and tips.
Took this near the French Vexin Regional Natural Park (bortle 5) in an open field, it was pretty cold.
Used a Canon EOS 80D with a 70-200mm f/2.8, the focus was not functioning properly, so it took me a couple of minutes to get it right.
1.3×803 lights, 40 darks, 80 bias, no white frames. Repositioned every 80-100 shots.
Taken at 6400 ISO and f/2.8 200mm
Post-processed with ASTAP, Photoshop, and Lightroom. Slightly cropped.
I tried to get the colours as close to the actual colours as possible. It used to be way more purple, but this is the best I could do for now.

Superb result for untracked , the amount of detail is 🤌
1.3 second exposures?
why did you take so many bias frames? statistically they don’t really add much at this fidelity past like 15-20.Â
