Wow, that's a fabulous image.

Its amazing but now put in the 5 x barlow and try to pick up the globular cluster G1 which is below the bright star to the left of M32 in your image.

Awesome effort!!

Superb!! Really great, if I'm honest I prefer it to today's AAPOD

Can I ask why bin2x3 though?

Probably the best M31 I've seen this year.... really stunning. I'm looking forward to giving this some time through my Meg72 once I get the guiding sorted!

Intentse colours and wonderful detail in the dust lanes. I'm not a fan of HDR but I think you've shown a good degree of retraint with it.

[peter shah]

a super rendition, one of the best ive seen for a while

[Coco]

Wonderful image, maybe a bit over bright but that could be my monitor?
