Description

This is an attempt at a side of M31 from the backyard dome. It's 10.5 hours of RGBL with 5.7 hours of that being luminance. The big blue star cluster is so huge that it consumes a large portion of the galaxy. I used a bit of deconvolution on both luminance and the RGB at the linear stage.

Description: Added more frames (mostly L) to get to 12.7 hours. Having more frames I could be a bit more selective and was lucky to get masters with reduced gradients. Still not quite deep enough to get the deep blue apron.. Must need truly dark skies for that. Went more more color and resolution.
