Very quick Andromeda

RobK and I got out last night to Lake George, half an hour north of Canberra with a nice low North horizon. Weather forecast was good, but we were clouded out within a half hour which was a shame. I got enough data to squeeze this image though, and am happy to see it. It will be an excellent spot to do it properly, hopefully this new moon.

Anyway, this is 15 or so x 45s each RGB at 300 (lowest noise) gain on the 160mm pro, WO zenithstar 81, heq5pro, unguided.. wind was gusting pretty solidly.

Was excellent to meet another Canberra astroimager

Considering the abbreviated session that is a very respectable M31, looks good to me. Will be interested to see what you can produce with some more time on the object, plenty of detail in the dust lanes already.

wow all that from just 15 x 45s that's amazing... imagine what a 2-3 hours will look like :-)

Nice shot JP

Thanks also for the invite, enjoyed meeting you and Anthony.
Conditions weren't the best but a good spot all the same.

Beautiful galaxy - nicely presented well done!

[jahnpahwa (JP)]

Thanks crew! Yeah, we will definitely be back out amongst it! I was tempted tonight, it looks like it will be perfect.

Hope you guys are also in for a good one
