Description

i finally gave M31 the time it deserves after a short glimpse in july. also this is the first image where i processed the DSO apart from the background and later combining it, thus getting better results with noise and starcolor. im really quite pleased how it turned out.

As for the color of the outer parts it is in part artificial (photoshop). i like the galaxypictures this way but the original data from my DSLR is more of a brownish color.

Best regards everyone, hope you like it.

captured over 3 nights, ISO 400 and 500.

Description: i went a couple of processing steps back and tried to preserve more of the H-alpha regions signal. also elevated the dynamic a bit.
