M31 Andromeda Galaxy

Andromeda taken from my back garden under light polluted skies. It's also a little red in colour as I shot this with my Astro modded canon 450D, not ideal for galaxies so i'll try again with my normal 7D at some point.

 

17 x 2min lights
20 darks
20 flats
20 bias

 

Taken with WO Megrez 72 DDG APO tracked on an Astrotrac, stacked in DSS and processed in PS CS6.

 

Thoughts, suggestions etc are always very very welcome.

Thanks,

Phil

I managed to add about another 2 hours of data last night in 2min subs and i've reprocessed it. I think I may have gone a bit too far but it's a learning curve. I think this is about as good as I'm going to get with my current gear and skill levels. Hopefully improve over time.


 


Also cropped it down to put on the web and it's added a bit of pixelation to the image I think.


 


Thanks,


Phil
