Hi all. After shooting the Cocoon a few nights back, I ran a sequence of 10x5 minute subs and 8x1 minute subs of M31 in luminance only. I just got around to combining the data and I thought I would post the early results. Processing invloved simple stretching of the data and using the 1 minutes subs for the bright center.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

"Quick and Dirty" looks better than a Palomar shot from 20 years ago. Great job on this quickie!
