Another 2 from last night.
I had full intentions of spending all night on m31, but I dropped that idea when I looked at m33 through the binos, then m45 distracted my attention from that, and the sky, it was so clear....what can one do??
But all three images from last night, I'll be adding more data to as the season progresses.:)
M31...1hr @iso800
M45...6x5min @iso800

Very nice images indeed.

Spending all night on M31? That would be fun - but at my latitude (34S) it's only viewable for a couple of hours at a time.

jjjpeg,

Great effort on M31 -- I'd like to see you spend the whole night on it, though!

Lovely images JJJ.

BTW I love the quotes you put in your signature. I'm still laughing about "I want to die in my sleep.."

JJJ,

I love the nebulosity in M45 - so eerily wispy... just wonderful!!

Cheers,
Mario

:) Aye, it was shot through the glow of a sodium light. Kinda shows doesn't it. LOL
I'll be adding more data to it hopefully tonight. I'll worry about colour balance next processing run.
