I also think I'm finally done with my M31

I honestly lost track of how many LRGB subs went into this. I'm thinking something between 6 and 10 hours of total integration time, done as a mosaic because I wanted a little bit more room around the galaxy. That added a TON of problems because of course most of the imaging sessions did not go as planned so I had wildly different numbers of subs in various colors in various places. Also, some serious variation in the Moon's illumination over the six nights of imaging between the end of August and mid-November. Primarily Astro Pixel Processor -- thank Bog for the gradient elimination tool -- plus a lot of work in Photoshop.

Love it well done!

Certainly worth all the effort you put into it, it’s a great image, well done.

A really nice image with lots of detail - well done!

I do find it a little on the magenta side though.

Wow, that's an absolute beauty - nice subtle colour and great detail 🙂

Yeah, it admits that it's got a pink problem!

I didn't think the galaxy looked bad for colour but the stars are a bit pink. That shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
