Andromeda through the trees

Photo taken with Full-spectrum modified Sony a6100 with STC Optics “Astro Multispectra” clip-filter and Sigma 16mm F 1.4 lens. The stars background layer is a stack of 4 x 90-second exposures, ISO 1250, with a polar-aligned star tracker mount. The foreground layer is same location at same time but without the star tracker enabled – and photoshopped minimally to reduce the star trails that appear in the leaves due to the long exposure. I took this photo at Stephen C. Foster State Park in Georgia, a dark-sky site on October 12, 2020 around 11pm. The large fuzzy bright star near the center is the Andromeda Galaxy (250 million light years away), and the smaller fuzzy bright star below center is the Triangulum Galaxy (2.73 million light years away).
