Description

My first image of M31 using a full frame (35mm) mono CMOS camera with a filter wheel. This is taken through a 130mm APO refractor with attached reducer which creates an effective focal length of 585 mm. The subframes were collected over two nights - one which was very clear and one which was through high altitude smoke from the western US forest fires. All subframes shot in light polluted suburban skies in the DC metropolitan area. I am experimenting with the addition of Lum frames, this image is only RGB. Each subframe was 300sec.
