M31 - My Second Deep Sky Target

[Peje]

My Dad has a fascination with Andromeda so I decided to keep him happy (since he donated the telescope to me).  Lights are 360s @ ISO400. 4 from 31/12/15 & 13 from 12/01/16 processed in PI using the Vortex workflow.

It's certainly not mind blowing but given what I was previously getting without guiding (& PI) it's a big improvement, will post a thumbnail of the old attempt also. Haven't decided on my next target yet, I want to grab some more lights of M42 so I can process around 20 in total but need a target in the western sky as this is the easiest (& darkest) for me to shoot.

All C&C welcome. Had to resize the JPEG so I could upload.
