Description

This image of M31, M32, and M110 was taken with a Canon EOS T3/1100D DSLR using a 300mm stock telephoto lens. The photo uses 20 stacked images at 800 iso and 4 minutes exposure each, for a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes of data. The photo also uses 75 bias frames, 30 dark frames, and 10 flat frames for calibration to reduce noise, dust spots, and vignetting. The final stacked image was processed in Photopea using curves and auto-tone to remove much of the light pollution in the background. Several bloated stars and satellites were removed with clone stamp and spot healing as well.
