Andromeda through the Moonlight

[Beyond_Vision]

First clear night in ages at home and it has to coincide with a full Moon. This was the first time I have had chance to check out my mount since it last session when I fell asleep with the telescope clashing against the pier. Everything seems fine thank goodness. Here's my results for the night M31 captured with my Canon 400D with a Neodymium filter and 0.8x Televue focal reducer on my APM TMB 105 APO. Exposure was ISO 800 25x 5 min subs. Stacked in DSS and false flat applied in Pixinsight and finalised in PSCS3 with Noels Actions.
