M31 - just 'aving a larf!!

[Bizibilder]

At the end of last nights session i managed a swift, single, 6min sub of M31 through the ED80PRO guided with PHD. No darks or flats just a tweak of the basic JPEG image in PS to get over the fact that the sky was turning blue with the dawn. It is BIG!!! isn't it? Must have a proper go someday!

Very impressive especially for a 'messin about' image :-)

It is BIG!!! isn't it?

Stick around for a few billion years and it'll be even bigger? <G> In the interim, nice one.

[SimonfromSussex]

Great pic, especially for just one sub.......even if it was 6mins!

[Hemsy]

Amazing

Just goes to show that all this messing about with multiple short exposures is a waste of time when you get results like that ! - Wow !

[Dave]

Nice one.

[Crunchard]

Just having a laugh? My word that's more like Michael Mcintyre live at the Paladium!

Very good image

[Willarnold]

Fantastic shot!

[Carbon Brush]

Fanastic picture.

Is that really the same fuzzy blob I saw through the eyepiece?

A prompt that I must finish puttintg my kit back together, with the guide scope.

Don't have to wait for the winter.

That’s thoroughly depressed me now. I would have been happier if you said it was a result of 8 hours exposure time and hours of stacking + tweaking!

Great image.

Superb, as i said on another recent m31, shots your like yours are an inspiration.

Thanks for all the comments folks! This really was just a "click and see!!" That little ED80PRO certainly works a treat!
