Description

My first M31 of this season taken from my home during the Perseid Meteor shower. I was lucky enough to catch one of the Perseids in a single frame. This is a 2 panel mosaic with each panel being an integration of 92 300s subs. I do plan to eventually add a lot of Ha/Oiii data to this. For now, it was challenging and fun to try to get a processed image with the Perseid included. The first time I have ever tried to include something from a single frame into a mosaic.

Description: A slightly larger revision to my mosaic to show some of the Ha regions and remove the meteor. I added 4 hrs per panel using an Astronomik L2 UVIR filter for star and dust lane enhancements. I added 6 hrs per panel using an Optolong L-Ultimate filter for Ha enhancements.
