3 pane mosaic of M31 with Canon DSLR

[MikeG247]

Had a few clear nights during the week so decided to image the edges of M31 and create a mosaic with the central region I imaged last week.

Canon 500D DSLR and Skywatcher Evostar 120ED with 0.85 focal reducer.

Total exposure for 3 panes combined is 8hrs 18min all at 180sec - Iso 800

It's fantastic. I am a complete novice, but to think that at some point I can hopefully aspire to images such as these is an inspiration.

Yeah, that's the stuff! Shows up the kink in the disc really well

Now that's cracker make no mistake! Somehow, I never tire of good images of our galactic neighbour.

Stunning picture.

As Andy_E said, looking at pictures like this amazing example of Andromeda NEVER loses its appeal.

Very well done. Awesome.
