Description

This image of M31 is my first serious LRGB+Ha combination project. While I've done narrowband before, I've only done a couple of LRGB projects and none where I integrated Ha into the photo.

Shooting over several nights between Nov. 13-18, I collected data in five channels and then integrated them in PI. The red Ha regions really give the photo added dimension.

I couldn't have managed without the help of an astronomy friend who is a whiz with PixInsight.
