I finally managed to get outside with my canon 450d and omegon star tracker to try and image my first go at M31 here in North Cornwall.  The sky was quite hazy but the stars were just about visible.  I was using my tamron 70-300mm lens at the 70mm setting because I wanted to be sure I had M31 in the frame (next time I shall zoom in more to get detail)  I only took 16 lights, 5 dark, bias and flats just to try it out ( I will take many more frames next time) 1600iso at 1m exposure time aperture 4.0.  Stacked in DSS and tweaked in PS.  For my first go at imaging this I'm quite happy, its never going to win any awards and I'm not looking to that.  Just happy to get something of it so far.  with more perseverance and practice I'll get better.  Clear skies.
