M31 the Andromeda galaxy reprocessed.
90x90sec light frames at ISO 1600, 29 dark frames, 25 flat frames and 50 bias frames stacked in DSS and processed in PS.

With what seems like weeks of cloudy nights even when it's supposed to be clear, I decided to reprocess my photo of M45 the Pleiades star cluster.

Thank you Seanelly.

Thank you Seanelly.

Thanks for your comment Craney, it's very much appreciated.

The black dot is almost certainly debris in your image train. A careful but deep clean is the only way to get rid of it. It runs in my mind that on the day you took your image, the solar disk was devoid of any sunspots. 

I use a Seymour type 2 glass filter that I purchased from Rother Valley Optics.

Thank you for your comment tooth_dr, it's very much appreciated.

Very nicely done Chris.

You may not be too pleased with your image, but I think it's a stunning image mate. I would be over the moon to get something as good.
