Here is my first attempt at M31 with the N12. It needs more data but I think it's a solid start.

I agree Greg and Diets, it is a start but it needs more time.

Looks great Tom,
I would be thrilled to have that as a "final" image grin

Very cool to compare your image with the APO to this one as well,not sure I could pick a favorite!

Tom, I honestly don't know how you do it. Your shots are always jaw-dropping! This one is no exception.... just fantastic!

Spectacular image, Tom! I don't know how much more you feel you need with this one, but I also understand. I was floored a week or two ago when I was looking at my version of M31 shot last year and realized that I had over 7 hours of exposure in it and I know I *still* want more! grin
