I decided to do some reprocessing as the clouds seem to never clear above the UK. The 2nd image is my 4th version (and final until I get more data).
Marking just over 12 months of Astrophotography I revisited my first ever DSO, M31. Rather different equipment this time, but 12 months of 'upgrades' has left me finally happy with my kit lol.
- 112 x 120s Lights - 3.7 hours
- 40 x Darks
- QHY268C @ -20
- William Optics GT81 with Flat6Aiii @ 384mm focal length
- Stellardrive EQ6-R Pro
- Astronomik UV/IR Cut Filter
- Bortle Class 4 skies
Fully processed in Pixinsight. I'll be coming back to this, I'd like to add at least another 4 hours of broadband frames and a couple of hours of Ha.
