Description

M31 is probably the most imaged target in the night sky but I have only recently started using a scope-camera combination that would allow me to give this galaxy a try.    This image is based on only 2.5 hours of imaging time and is composed of thirty two, 300 second exposures with my OSC camera.

I decided to add H-Alpha data to my image of M31.  My OSC camera is fitted with a filter wheel so I have access to both a UVIR filter and an Optolong L-eXtreme, dual narrow band filter.  The L-eXtreme basically puts the Ha data into the R channel of the OSC camera.  On the second night, I shoot 600 second exposures to get an Ha image.  I then followed some PixInsight tutorials on how to add Ha data to an RGB image.  The updated image is not shown.
