Description

My first take on M31. Switched from F4 Newton to 4inch Triplet with 0.79 reducer to not lose my sanity ;)

Quite pleased with how this turned out - first light, too!

Processing in PI:

- Automatic batch preprocessing

- Dynamic background extraction

- Background neutralization

- Color callibration

- Histogram transformation

- Created Luminosity mask from over-corrected grey scale copy

- Applied curve corrections to background and stars/galaxy separately

- HDR

- minor tweaks here and there
