Last Andromeda of the year

Headed out to Watt's Bridge with the Astro Anarchy folks. Conditions were aweful. Constant wind made it impossible to image with my RC8 and by the time the wind died down, the smoke cloud from a nearby bush fire covered 3/4 of the sky.

I managed to grab an hour and a half of Andromeda using my portable set up. I decided to keep things simple and shoot unguided 30 second exposures and it came out pretty good. There's a good amount of processing done to the final image as the focus was slightly out (was too late by the time I noticed). Recently bought a new workstation for processing and I went from taking 20 minutes for a single process to just over a minute for a drizzled target. What wonders the new Ryzen 7 processors can do compared to my old (but reliable) laptop.

Enough babbling. The image consists of 180x 30sec with NO calibration frames (because I got super lazy).
