Andromeda M31 from Northern Denmark (Nordjylland)

Finally after more than a year of waiting, I have been able to use my gear and capture one of the beauties of the night sky.

Andromeda was captured from my backyard in Northern Denmark, Nordjylland. I believe that on good nights, it's around high Bortle 3.

Due to incoming clouds and problems with my remote, exposure was limited to 20 minutes.

40x 30s at ISO400

No darks, no flats, no bias, no filters.

Editing was limited to basic siril operations and synthetic flats, curves, levels, and contrast in PS.

I'm looking forward to the details after several hours of exposure.

B

Description: - more 'exposure' on the core. I made it brighter
- more nebulosity on the outer rim of the galaxy, visible as a glow/waze
- more focus on yellow color, specifically in the center
- less background subtraction (synthetic flat), so the background is slightly more grey instead of black, creating a more realistic blend. This looks more natural.

D

Description: Full reprocess of the original data without Siril +rotated. A slightly artistic touch towards it.

F

Description: smaller stars, more color and detail in the galaxy

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
