M31 from Scotland

Andromeda Galaxy and neighbours (M31, M32, M110). Date 02/03-10/2022. Location: Newtonmore, Scotland. Equipment: Telescope: SW Esprit 100 with field flattener and Baader UHC filter. Mount: SW AZ-EQ6 auto guided using a synguider2. Camera/settings: Canon 600D with IR filter removed. ISO 800. Image calibration: 136 lights (3 mins each with 15s interval), 50 x darks, bias, flats and dark flats. Conditions: Mostly clear, with very light wind. The Moon was present for about half the imaging - it set as I was doing the meridian flip. Some artificial light from cars on a nearby road but it was not too bad. Notes: This is my first full night imaging session for a long time (almost 2 years!) so I went for an easy target. I'm happy with the results and I hope this will be the start of a new set pictures as I restart my hobby!
