Description

I wanted to do a test and try to get a decent Andromeda from home in my driveway. I used the Optalong L-Pro Light Pollution filter and 60 sec subs with the RASA 8in and ASI071MC-Pro OSC camera. This is by far the best I've ever done from home. I can't wait to try the RASA from a dark site with only a uv/ir filter. It's hard to for imaging shooting M31 with 60 sec subs. I also really like the FOV from the RASA 8 and the ASI071MC. This image is still cropped some. At home I can barely see the stars of Cassiopeia or the Pleiades. The Light Pollution is only getting worse. However the new filters that are coming out are allowing pretty decent images, especially Ha and OIII nebulae. M31 and galaxies don't do well with the narrowband filters though. I'm very happy with what I was able to get with the L-Pro on a clear night. Hopefully well get some more when the Moon is not out.
