M31

[alan meehan]

Taken at qld Astrofest this shot of M31 is 4hrs using my w/o 72 and cannon 40d cooled camera iso1600,this has always been a hard one to get from newcastle but it was good to be able to see it much higher up in qld,some rotation in the corners was having mount problems as well ,had to do a mount repair during astrofest

Wow Al! :thumbsup: what a top image - even given the mount issue. Nice colour, well done!

The 72 gives a nice frame, love to shoot this myself, but it only gets 11 deg above the horizon here.

That Shot is MEGA!!

Well done indeed that 72 does so well, perfect field to capture Andromeda.

Nice work there
