Andromeda last night

[Terrierist]

Hello All.

I've been imaging/getting my head round Astrophotography now for over a year, the advice I received on this forum has helped immeasurably - even if it was advice I didn't really like to hear!

I understand that this image isn't APOD standard, but to me it is a real leap forward in terms of quality and learning for myself.

Please, would someone with more knowledge (not hard! :)) look at the images and CC them. FITS attached also.

My equipment and data for this image

William Optics Zenithstar 71

Skywatcher EQ5 mount 

ZWO ASI 178 MC uncooled

Images

100 x 60 second subs - unguided

30 flats

30 bias

30 dark

shot in Astrophotography tool and processed in Astropixel processor/Photoshop

Thanks for any advice or CC

The only thing I could add to try and help is to take some data that under exposes the core.
Then use layers in photoshop to mask/bring through the other data as required.
Easier said than done I know. Andromeda is notoriously hard to get right - do we ever?!

All the best
