Description

Have not imaged M31 for about 10 years. This attempt is from dark skies of Cape Hatteras NC.
While processing the image, I noticed that the image is very under sampled, so I decided to drizzle it and keep the drizzled resolution.
This produced almost 100MP image. I did not have many Lum subs, so I decided to integrate all LRGB subs as super Lum while drizzling. Surprisingly, the result turned out pretty good with nicely sampled stars even after BlurXterminator.
