Description

This is kind of a bonus image. I've been getting a portable astrophotography rig set up and tested (something I can drag along when we go on trips in our RV). Last night I had it out for some more testing, and waddaya know it actually worked and I got some decent data. The scope is a Sky-Watcher Evolux 62ED with its matching field flattener, and I used my ASI533MC Pro color camera with it. It's all on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi mount. I managed to capture about an hour's worth of data pointed at the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), our nearest galactic neighbor, and here's the result.

Title: The Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Description: Never one to leave well enough alone, I decided to reprocess last week's Andromeda Galaxy data. This time I made an effort to bring out more of the color that the data contained. 38 2-min subs with an OSC camera and L-Pro filter using my Evolux 62ED and SW SA GTi mount.
