M31 Widefield

[Scooot]

Clear again in the early hours of the 17th so I set my star adventurer up again and focused on M31. This is 65 one minute exposures at 135mm ISO 400 F2.4. Any advice welcome.

Great image...Love M31 in wide field, really gives a perspective of how large the universe is. Can clearly see the lanes and there is a hint of blue..

When I started out I used a canon 700D on the older iOptron Sky tracker, but I didn't manage to grab as nice a result as this! And I am just down the road from you so I cannot blame the skies ?

Many thanks AK, nice of you to say so. My new Samsung 135mm F2 has made a big difference, very pleased with it. I’m still juggling with exposure, trying not to over expose stars in the hunt for detail.
