M31 (most of it)

Had an hour of clear sky last night for some optics and mount testing. The result, M31.
Scope 180F9 with TCC operating at F6.75. Camera STL11k. Mount was 1600 with 10 minute unguided subs.

4x10 minute for the outer part. 4x90 seconds for the core detail

Wow, wish I had the FOV! This is quite nice. Amazing how much you captured with so little integration time! 8O

Hello Rolando,

Fantastic! I'm still trying to capture core detail like you have. No luck so far. Great job!

The stars look good across the frame and I definitely like the dust cloud detail you managed to get. Now a 180 f/9 with TCC? Which TCC did you use? For some reason I thought they are focal ratio dependent.

Roland, Spectacular detail! Best, Dave

Beautiful result Rolando. Quite impressive pinpoint stars, especially without any guiding. That 1600 mount must be purring along nicely.
Cheers,
Tyler
