Andromeda Galaxy - LRGB

[The_Sarge]

First attempt at M31 and first galaxy with the STT-8300

Scope: Esprit 100ED

Camera: STT-8300M with Baader LRGB filters.

image scale c. 2arcsecs/pixel

Luminance: Around 2 hours in the final stack mostly 60s subs with a few 45 and 90 second subs thrown in for good measure.

RGB: 10x2min each channel.

Total 3.5 hours.

Processed in DSS and photoshop.

Massively compressed from the original file in order to upload.

Think I need to find a good place online to stash the originals.

Anybody have any recommendations?

Sarge.
