Last night and M31

[markcol]

Decided to revisit M31 last (Wednesday) night and here's a preliminary result. I not entirely sure I've got the best out of it yet, but it's better than my previous attempts which is the main thing. I hope to get autoguiding sorted soon so until then it's still an unguided job!

15x 1min iso800, 15x 1min iso 1600, 15x 2min iso800, 15x 2min iso 1600. Canon 20D & TC80N3 (unmodded), WOZS80EDII on EQ6 Pro

Processed with DSS and PSCS with Noel's Actions but mainly levels and curves, USM, Gaussian, saturation and colour balance.

Blimey, it was a bit nippy out there last night!

Cheers

That is a really nice result Mark, and certainly worth being out in the cold for.

That is an ace image Mark, and a reward for braving the bitter cold. Looks worthy of a place in an Astro Mag. that one, a real beaut.

Many thanks guys!

You're welcome Gary (hadn't thought of it myself, but I was wondering about using it for a christmas card!)

Just about to go out and get cold again before it mists over...

That is a belter of an image Mark. Nicely framed, great detail out to the edges and stars look great to.
