Description

I am hoping this image will evolve as and when clear skies permit.

This was to be (a) my first serious image with my new StellaMira SM90 and (b) my first RGB image of M31 for more years than I can remember. The plan was collect 20x60s of Lum and 10x120s of R, G and B with a bonus is 10x180s of Ha if the weather permitted. As it turned out it is 19x60s of Lum, just 3x120s of R and  4x120s of G, and 9x120s of B - with no Ha at all.

Fortunately very dark skies in my backyard and no Moon still allowed for a semi-decent image - things can only get better.

The framing is not great - I really need the reducer/flattener on the SM90 and not just the flattener.
