Description

M31 in HaLRGB (Data collected a little while ago, didn't have time to process until now)

This is how the galaxy looked like 2.5 Million years ago....

Scope: Sky Watcher Evostar 80
Camera: ASI294MM-P
Filters: Optolong 2" Ha, L, R, G, B
Exposure: 93x300s Ha (gain: 200); 75x180s L (gain:200); 8x180s RGB each (gain: 200)
Bortle 7/8, Southern Ontario, Canada
(Total ~ 13 hours)

This time I highlighted the Ha area carefully and with a better-balanced luminosity throughout the galactic disc.
