Andromeda Unchained, Reframed and Reworked

[Beyond_Vision]

I added another 16 x 10 min frames to my previous image of M31 and made sure it was across the diagonal of the chip. The data from the last session was combined with Registar and finished with Pix Insight and PSCS3. Equipment was as per previous image. Total Exposure 33 x 10 mins.

I have toned the sepia effect from the last image as Martin had pointed out. Next session I hope to get some Ha to add to the mix.

Not that I am anywhere near qualified to comment but the sky between the stars doesn't look as black as the original.

Having said that I would like to add wow, wow, wow, I can only hope to aspire to capture something this good!!!

[Beyond_Vision]

Yep you were right Digz. I did this when the sunlight was washing out the monitor. I have replaced the above image now

I'd like to add some more "wows" to go with Digz's- that's spectacular

[Worzsel]

That is truly beautiful

[QldLiz]

More wowowows here too, a beautiful image kevin.

[Digz]

Thats better

Truly amazing image. I love the detail of the dust lanes swirling into the core

[oldfruit]

I don`t understand all the technical stuff but its a great photo, sort of thing you would see in a book. Hope i can capture something like this one day.

[russ]

what an image. The detail and colour is spectacular. The perfect M31!

[MartinB]

Love those outer regions Kevin and the dust lanes are outstanding. The Ha will be the icing on the cake

[nightfisher]

an excellent picture, very impressed

[Psychobilly]

Love it not a hot pixel in sight very nice indeed...

It reminds me of the opening shots from "contact" when the camera pulls away from the galaxy. You have captured those dark lanes so very very well. Almost unreal.

Stunning shot Kev

I tried to comment earlier, Kevin, but an Orange 'deadbox' prevented me from doing so. Fine M31 with a really strong core, in my view, not just in terms of colour but in terms of getting in close. In fact I'll stand you a few cool beers if you'll tell me how you got those innermost dust lanes...

Excellent work kevin!

Tha Ha for M31 is very very faint...much harder to get a good result for than M33! I wish you every success in capturing it though!

Nice one Kev.

I don't think i have seen as much detail in M110 before when Andromeda was the main target....

Hi Kevin,

Somehow I like the older version better.

This one looks a bit blurry to me in comparison with the old one?

But nevertheless, both pictures are great! I would be happy to get even close to that

I shall have to come over sometime although it's down to Pix Insights magic

Pascal the previous image was a bit sharper but the second set of data the image seemed a bit noisier so a small amount of noise reduction was done.

Thanks all for your great comments
