I took the subs for the western veil, while waiting for M31 to come up.

It's about 50 mins total interrogation.

Nice shot. Saw this visually for the first time a few months ago - breathtaking.

Thanks for the comments.

I've sort of got my head around star tools, with a few tweaks I've learnt I was able to isolate the nebula.

I was hoping for the eastern neb but I'm very happy with what I got for the limited time I get to see it.

Checked my pad, was 32 mins total time.

Karl,
I wouldn’t bother upgrading your scope soon just get a new mount , plus. EQMOD,BYEOS , Stellarium scope, Stellarium and your done
Incredible images !!

Yes Startools is a great program and easy to navigate and get good results even in bortle 8 skies where I live in Sydney

Heading down the coast today for 4 or 5 days and hoping to capture some images if the weather is kind to me

Cheers
Martin

Forgot to mention the most important thing if you upgrade soon - PHD2 autoguiding !!
Software is free, all you need is an Orion 50mm mini guide scope which replaces your finderscope ( get the one with helical focuser) a ZWO ASI 120mm monochrome guide camera and a 5m USBA to USBB cable
When you start guiding at your dark site believe me you won’t sleep , you will be up all night every night when it’s clear
I was totally stoked capturing 5 minute subs with tac sharp stars
Cheers
Clear Skies
