Excellent work - feels lively and not pushed with some excellent detail.  Great work.

I love M31 and you do it proud with your interpretation in this image.

Many thanks for all the comments - much appreciated!

This is an attempt to combine the Ha channel with the LRGB, it sort of worked but I've blown the core in the process. Problem was the core is actually very bright in Ha and I should have toned it down a bit first before combining (I think...). It's all a learning process

This crop shows a slice through the middle (in case you don't want to download the full-res image)

and the top end..

The Ha is great in the arms but doesn't help the core, I agree.

Oh my! Just looked at the high res version of this. What a great image, a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing and showing what is possible!!!

the thing is the core is bright no matter what you do to some extent but if you reduce the core glow it just wouldn't look real well that's just my opinion lol but its a sodding great image
