Afocal M31 from back on 21st of Jan

[Whippy]

I was just going through a couple of tests with a new desktop and I noticed I never stacked this set of shots I took of M31, so I thought I'll give it a bash and this came out . Quite surprised as it goes, especially with M32 visible too.

As best as my memory serves, this was taken with my Canon Powershot A610 connected to a Baader Hyperion 21mm and Neodymium filter, Celestron C8N all on top of an EQ6. 31x15 second shots (total exposure time 7m 45secs) stacked in DSS. The only thing I've done is cropped out the vignetting.
