Description

A huge HDR target and one that is easy to overdo the fainter aspects. The fainter parts are still a bit strong compared to the brighter here, but I did try to not take it too far. Really, compared to the foreground stars most of M31 is quite faint.

Three panels here at an 838mm focal length. This seems about the limit of my seeing.  I have tried at longer FL, but really don't get more detail.
