Description

Iconic M31 in only a 5.2hr LRGB at f/4.5 with my new ML16200 and (old) APM-Riccardi 0.75x focal reducer / field flattener. I had intended on getting another night or two this weekend but a big storm is forecast to wipe out this cycle for me so this one night from last cycle is probably all I'm going to get this year.

Taken at D.A.R.C. Observatory, Mercey Hot Springs, CA, 1 October 2016

10/18/17: Flipped from North-Up to North-Down for better framing. After querying on CN, this orientation has M31's nearest edge at the bottom and in the apparent foreground (based on obscuration of the dust lanes in the far edge). In this orientation, the M31 rotation is CCW.
