Some late summer macrophotography.

This red-backed jumping spider was found hiding in the leaves of a blueberry bush and showed a great deal of curiosity towards the camera, often cocking its head in a curious manner as I took photos.

One of my new favourite photos: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

A total of 49 minutes of combined exposure time and a further 2.5 hours of processing to pull out the details. See https://www.aaronpengellyphotography.com/blog/ for more astrophotography!
