Hi All,

I took a hiatus from imaging during the summer because of the weather and I also was waiting for my new equipment to arrive which now has. I now have a new AP900 wto go with a new FSQ and my STL11K. This is the first light image from this setup. I will gather the color soon.

Details: M31, 20 300-second + 15 600-second Luminance images.

For a closer view and larger crop of the center please look here:

That's a gorgeous image, Jose! I thought at first glance that it was H-alpha! Welcome back!

Hoo-wee, Jose, Great image! I like it a lot. Such nice tight stars - I think that's the FSQ for you. Congrats!
