Pushed a little harder than the core image, due to clouds. Still fun to capture single big stars from another galaxy. Even with the ridiculous signal from M31 it would be nice to have 20 or 30 shots per section.

Nice guiding and colors -- looks like your big TEC is enjoying the turn of the season.

Another great addition to that giant mosaic. That will be ~100 sets of those 20-30 shots, no?

I like it Mike. It stands as a cool image on its own - it would be nice as a mosaic section.
