Description

Finally got a clear and moonless night for M31.  I drizzled in PixInsight, and attempted some star reduction, but it still seems like I've got a lot of distracting stars.  I'm happy with the detail and the color, but I'd definitely like to learn how to reduce the appearance of the stars.

Description: Finally got a clear and moonless night for M31. I drizzled in PixInsight, and attempted some star reduction using a technique by Adam Block. Really happy with how this turned out, and how by zooming in you can see details such a nebulas and star clusters in Andromeda. Really amazing what a little 8" scope in the backyard can capture.
