First picture of M31 at the end of 2021 using basic tripod with Nixon D5200, I can’t remember settings, but processing wasn’t great and out of focus
Second attempt at start of 2022 after purchasing sky watcher star adventurer 2i D5200 I think it was 20 x 120secs, processing in Photoshop
Third attempt at the start of this year with new setup, eq6-r, 1600MM pro, asiair, guide scope and dew heaters. L 6 x 300 secs, RGB 10 each x 300 secs, taken over 2 nights, stacked and processed in Pixinsight, only just got it so a lot can be done to improve but happy with results so far! Planning to give the elephant trunk nebula in HSO a go when the next clear night arrives in Wales
