M31, M33 and NGC6960

Ended up taking more dark frames than the actual lights due to clouds... :sad:

Great shots from a southern location. Sadly I cant access any of those objects unless I move my well polar aligned mount from it's present location :(

Holey Smoke, they are great images!

[h0ughy]

Your not wrong, I thought there must have b een a bit if divine intervention in those shots, no wonder its Holy Smoke and not Nebulae.

thanks people, they were my 1st set of shots utilising dark frame subtraction.
i'm yet to move onto using flats, it's a real slow learning process for me..
i gotta get back out there on a cloudless night and get some decent amount of subs.
