That's a lovely M31, nice detail in the dust lanes.

[Martin-Devon]

Beautifully processed, core is not blown out, and great detail in the arms - excellent

[Quatermass]

stunning you should be very happy chappy with that one.

Very good pic. There is some coma at the edges though. Is the reducer you're using at the correct distance. That might fix the issue.

One of the best m31 image i've ever see!

Very nice

[sabin_fota]

thank you guys for the words

@Tom OD actually it take me a while to figure the optimal distance on PFLAT 4...after my calculations the ideal distance is a little below 76 mark.

on this pic I have been at 86 mark on PFLAT 4 reducer, so I was not on ideal distance

Very beautiful image! But it seems that the star a bit green to me. Not sure if thats the jpg or what...or maybe just my bad eyes. But beautiful over all.

Stars are a bit green and there is some coma but Andromeda is looking great, i love the blue, this galaxy gives me an awesome vibe

thank you guys, I think the problems ar comming form the inadvertences between reducer/flatner PFLAT 4 and the refractor
