First attempt at imaging a galaxy M31

[StarDuke82]

Was out imaging Jupiter and Saturn early this morning when I noticed M31 Andromeda was pretty close to Zenith so I had to make an attempt. 
 

M31 4:42am from my Bortle 6/7 skies, 24 mm Baader Hyperion EP shot with iPhone 13 Pro shot with Astroshader app: 11 exposures, Exposure time 1 sec, Exposure gain 70, Iso 4400, White Balance 4000.  

I think the raw Astroshader images (top two) look a bit better than what I did in LightRoom but that may just be me.

Did some more editing in LightRoom for this one

Great first attempt, StarDuke! I like the first two because they closely match what I see in the eyepiece.
