Description

The resulting image shown here is a rework of the 11 images I captured in 2017. In my image here, the core of the galaxy is a bit blown out but I am picking up more details in the spiral arms. Some day I hope to image M31 again and will try to collect more photons and also shoot some short duration images to use for the core. The shots used for this final image were taken with a Takahashi FSQ-106N and a Canon 6D MKII camera. Dark frames were taken but no flats or bias frames were used. Also, no filters were used.
