Description

M31 was my very first astrophotography target 2 years ago and I wanted to give it another shot with much better equipment. I unfortunately shot most of the images during a full moon which produced some strong gradients and reflections in the RGB images. These were challenging to process out especially with a mosaic. This was certainly more challenging for acquisition and processing. Maybe I'll try again in another 2 years.

I also tried Astropixel Processor for stacking and it worked very well, it defintely is a big time saver compared to Pixinsight.
