Hi All,

This is the M31 image from my first light post with color added. I had to forgo depth as compared to the Luminance only image because I don't have enough color data. I might add more tonight but in all honesty this might not be possible as I would need about 8 hours of data on each color filter to reach the depth of the luminance image.

Details: AP900 - FSQ 106 - STL11000m - LLRGB - 6:3:1.5:1.5:1.5 Hours

Look here for a larger cropped image:

Jose,
That is indeed one of the finest shots of M31 that has been posted.

Really shows the blue supergiants ringing the outside of M31.
