Here's a photo of Andromeda M31, and the Pinwheel (also called Triangulum) M33 Galaxies. This is one 4 minute exposure, Canon 350, 50 mm f1.8 II lens @ f/2.8, using the Hinged Astrophotographic Tracker. No filter was used. In Photoshop, I used auto levels to remove light pollution, then curves to bring out the stars, then cropped the photo to frame the galaxies. The Pinwheel Galaxy is at the very corner of the original photo. There was some slight elongation of stars since I'm still in the process of optimizing the alignment of my tracker to the Celestial Pole.
