My first try at a mosaic, of sorts. 6 panel luminance mosaic combined with OSC color data.

Gorgeous result, Tom. No question this one is a keeper!

I will also have to go the mosaic route since my FSQ-ST10XME combo yield a field of view which slightly crops M31 - here is a quick and dirty 4x3min : http://www.perseus.gr/Images/dso-ngc-0224.jpg .

Good detail. Coloration is a bit red. Compare your color to the Hallas mosaic: http://www.astrophoto.com/M31.htm
(of course who knows what the color really is?)

Tom, it's absolutely perfect !
It can be interesting for you that in Poland a lot of my friends using yours images as a reference.
Thanks for sharing!
