Popular Post Peter Shah Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 M31 the Andromeda Galaxy bathed in ionised Hydrogen. Imaged from Spain with the FSQ 106ed at f3.6 and the stunning ZWO ASI-6200 full frame Cmos camera. Exposure times were 140 x 240s frames in H-a with LRGB 100 x 180s in each channel a total of nearly 31hours and 65Gb of data. The faint H-alpha in the background was very difficult for me to pull out probably making this my most challenging process to date. Thanks for looking Peter Shah BAZ, Chris P., +Derbyshire Dave and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 That's a belter, it must have been difficult not to blow the core out. Peter Shah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to work the core and the outer regions separately then go to work on the Ha layer as they all have there own very different levels of brightness and contrast.

Peter Shah Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Here is a revised version I have done some work on the background Luminance. It was showing additional structure... I also think it has helped to bring the image together a bit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Kev, I've found out the surrounding area is believed to be part of a broader band width of emission. 8472 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
