M31: Revisited

[bluedandelion]

I imaged this in 2010 with a modified Canon 350D and an SV85s. As my processing skills improved, I have revisited this data and I think I am finally done with this image as of yesterday, Oct 26 2014. Acquired with an SV85s which does not have a flat field. However even at 1600 pix, star shapes near the corners are tolerable. I do not want to tweak star shapes in Photoshop. I am a PI sort of imager.

This is a stack of 24x5 mins at ISO 800 from a site that is 3 on the Bortle scale. No filters were used.
