Description

Because it is such an easy target, the M31 galaxy is one of the most photographed subjects in the sky. I was not going for the galaxy in the first place. But after some cloudy nights I have to quickly decide which target I will go for next. So I gave it a try. There are not much LRGB images in my collection, yet. But we had some nights around new moon and I decided to image the galaxy myself. The galaxy fits the sensor of my ASI 183MM very nice and I used a set of TS Optics LRGB filters. It took me about two nights to collect the amount of data I was looking for. I guess I improved a bit since my try with the Canon EOS two years ago.
