AstronomyUkraine Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This is a quick RGB image of M31. Still need to add Ha and Lum frames for the detail. Integration for the RGB is 10 hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyUkraine Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Posted by: @Dmack1 That's looking really good already.Thanks. I want another couple of hours on each filter to grab more detail, and hopefully add a few hours of Ha, and around 5 hours of Lum to the final image.

MarkAR Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Nice work, I think the Lum will really make it pop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Posted by: @MarkAR Nice work, I think the Lum will really make it pop.I'm hoping so. Going to take lum data with 3 different exposure lengths and combine them to get all the detail without blowing out the core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgrover68 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 That really is very good already! Lots of really nice detail. I could look at M31 pics all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 @paulgrover68 Thanks Paul. I've refused to take this image for a long time, because the FOV on my ED80 and .85 reducer is just too narrow for this object. I think I got around 95% of the galaxy in the image, and I'm quite pleased with the result.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
