Andromeda galaxy / M31

This my first try at one of my favorite objects in the night sky. When i started with this hooby in January this year the goal was to capture this amazing incoming galaxy this summer when i will had my main vacation and time off. So vacation came and luckily the weather was also on my side in the last week or so. So i decided to photograph the galaxy over 3 nights and collected 6h of good data. When i stretched it first, i was simply amazed what i saw on the screen. Honestly jaw droped to the floor hehe. So then i took the data and processed it in pixinsight with a minor touch in photoshop. I am more then pleased wtih how it turned out with the colours and contrast within the galax. Of course since i have unmodified camera red is an issue, so the red nebulas in the galaxy are not visible. But eventualy i will get a filter or a camera, get the data i need and combine it with this. I Hope you like it also, critique is more then welcome

Description: Since i made this photo, many new processing tools and techniques came in play. So i had to rework Andromeda which i knew i could do much better so i made a new version.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
