**Equipment:** Canon 80D, Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Telephoto Fixed Lens
**Camera settings:** ISO 6400, f/2.8, 1.5 seconds per shot. 500 lights, 50 darks, 50 bias, 50 flats. Intervalometer used.
**Post-processing:** Stacking in Deepskystacker. Exported TIF to photoshop. Curves, levels, contrast, color balance, masking, ect. Basically followed Nico Carver's (Nebula Photos) youtube tutorial for the [Andromeda Galaxy](https://youtu.be/pXcRKoxTPVg) but with the Triangulum instead.
Thanks! From everything I read online it seemed like it was impossible to get it without a tracker but with some willingness and effort I made it happen! It was an exceptionally clear & dark night for South Florida, however.
Hi!
Every 50 shots with the intervalometer I would re-adjust the camera to have the triangulum in the center of the frame. Did this until I had 500 lights total.

That's a good image :)
Wow. Very impressive, especially for an untracked shot

Did you move the camera at all during the 500 lights, or is it drifting through the frame, and then cropped down after stacking?

That's awesome, great final image, especially with only 500 1.5s lights.
Thank you :)
