First M31

[pulsar pete]

Hi,

First night out for a while, so I tried M31 with a tamron standard zoom kit lens set at 200mm f5, on the camera which was then mounted on an EQ5 with RA motor.

Ten lights and 12 darks all at 60seconds each. Stacked in DSS and some basic processing in Pixinsight. No flats hence the dust bunnies.

I'm getting a better piece of glass later this week - pentax Super Takumar 200mm f4, so it will be interesting to see the difference between modern zoom kit lenses and a 40 year old prime lens.

Comments welcome.

Regards

Peter
