Description

A second try at imaging M31 - I added more integration time (more subs) and added some tweaks in post processing to bring out the dust lanes.

The lights were captured in two sessions:  September 9th and October 10th.  273 sixty second images. 

Stacked along with a set of Flats, Darks & Darkflats. 


Post processing is where I need to learn more techniques
