First M31 of the season

[physicus]

It's only the Andromeda galaxy, but I like it.  L(12x300)R(21x300)G(13x300)B(24x300) over two nights.  Only processing is levels/contrast.  I like to see Hubble's Variable Number 1, and it is visible on the LRGB, but better in the Luminance only: close-up attached.  NGC 206 also showing nicely, and while no threat to the C9.25 on this region, the Esprit has done a reasonable job of resolving some blue giants in there.  I like this framing, which crams about as much interesting stuff as you can get in on the Atik460 chip and 550mm FL.  Just needs a bit of Ha to finish off.   Esprit 100/Atik460/AZEQ6/Altair 600mm guide/Baader filters/PHD2/Nebulosity/PS

Hi, yes I do like this M31 , the only down side is sky abit to green and the red round some Stars . your processing look good and I just think a little bit more processing would work well with this image.

Love it! Nicely done; there's even a hint of dust in M110

 

Thanks for sharing

Thanks.   Yes, need to shrink those red stars down a bit.  Real beacons !
