Description

I haven't had many clear nights to images for several months.....but a run of 4 days of good but not great skies was good enough for me to work on M31. I used all 4 nights - imaging from 9:00 pm until 1:30 or so stopping before a meridian flip. My setup included a modded DSLR Nikon 800e on a 8 inch Newt - to reduce file size I selected the 1.5 sensor election on this full frame sensor - but tht turned out to be a mistake as the FOV shows. I ended up keeping 162 subs - the exposure settings were 200 ISO, F/4 aperture, and 150 second shutter speed. I only used 20 darks (low ISO), 80 bias, and 200 flats. Andromeda was shot from my front yard over the light polluted skies of Spartanburg SC.
