    Default Two hours on M31



    Sooner or later everybody tries M31... Finally decided to it is time to make a first attempt. This is the last of the images taken on our summer astro party. 1730m above sea level are very tempting to try targets with fine detail

    It becomes trickier than I expected. The framing is not the best one... Just learned how to align the stacks of 1min and 2min exposures so will try to re-process it again and to keep more from the core. But I'm happy with it so far.

    M31 - Andromeda Galaxy
    Imaging: WO ZS 110 triplet + WO FRIII 0.8x, Modified 550D, EM-200, APT, PHD
    Guiding: WO ZS 66SD, DSI 1 Pro
    Subs: 14x10min = 2h 40min, ISO 1600, no calibration - only dithering
    Processing: DSS, PS CS3
    Location: Rozhen (1730m ASL), Bulgaria



    Hope that you like it
    Clear skies,
    Ivo

    May the weather be with you!
