A quick and dirty M31 mosaic

[Xplode]

This is a quick and dirty version of M31 done just to work out how to make a mosaic, it doesn't look too shabby for the small amount of data.

 

Telescope: AG Optical Convergent FA14 14.5" f/5
Mount: 10 Micron GM2000
Camera: Moravian G3-16200
Guiding: Moravian G3 OAG and ZWO ASI174mm Mini

The mosaic consists of 8 panels.

Frames per panel:
Astrodon B 50mm: 1x300" bin 1x1
Astrodon G 50mm: 1x300" bin 1x1
Astrodon L 50mm: 1x300" bin 1x1
Astrodon R 50mm: 1x300" bin 1x1
 

Time per panel: 20min
Total time: 2,67hours

 

I had some challenges with unevenness in RGB data as it was taken over several nights because M31 is so low right now.

There's of course not much color and lack of depth with so little data
