Absolutely cracking  image. There’s a warmth about the central region. The outer regions look natural and the sky is a velvety black.  What’s  Bortle class 😎 ? I’m guessing good.

thank you! Bortle 8, in the middle of a city. Light pollution is a real challenge here

Strewth!  I think it’s bad here at 5.  You’ve done well to remove it.

Simply a beautiful image of M31 to say the least, i agree with Ouroboros, i love the colour temperature in the core region.

One of the most beautiful images i've ever seen. Well done.

Fabulous results using unguided 45s subs. Inspires me to keep going on my unguided EQ3-2. You did a great job removing the noise that must have been present at ISO3200 - how many darks did you take?!
