M31 Andromeda Galaxy

[Chefgage]

Not done any imaging for a couple of years.  Not sure why really, just have not got round to it.  So I thought I would start things off again with M31.  I have always imaged this in summer when when we are away camping (dark skies) but thought I would have a go from my bortle 7 (ish) sky.

Very nice. I have no comments apart from the amount of data which would be bigger. Could you add a few more hours and stack it again? 🙂

Very nice image I like the blue and the dust lanes , as already been said a few hours more would really help if you can manage it ,but it's a great image as is.M31 is a subject you process in so many ways it's a favorite of mine🫡
