Busy weekend Imaging M52, NGC7635, M45 & M31

[brendant]

Started of Friday night but seeing conditions were bad and did not improve over the night, presevered but to no avail - a very poor M31.

Saturday night had high cloud which eventually cleared and the seeing improved so got time on the Bubble and M45 before packing up.

All images imaged with the ED80 Pro mounted on a HEQ5 Synscan mount, imaged with modded 400D and guided with a QHY5 and 400mm Sigma lens as guidescope.

M52 - NGC7635, 13 x 360 Sec @ ISO800, stacked in DSS and postprocessed in PS.

M45 - 13 x 360 Sec @ ISO800, details as above.

M31 (from Friday night) 9 x 180 Sec + 30 x 300 Sec @ ISO800.

A very productive night Brendan despite the less than perfect transparency. A lot of people would be glad to capture a image like your M31

Thanks Kevin, hopefully will get another crack at Andromeda later on when it is better placed.
