M31 - Astrofest
This was one of my goals for Astrofest. I can see M31 from Brisbane but I look straight through light pollution up north so my last multiple hour attempt barely produced anything other than a small glow in the core.
About 3.5 hours of data with 8min subs taken on a D800. Unfortunately there had to be one cursed problem for me at astrofest and that's my 3.5 hours were taken at f/2.8 and my 80-200mm lens has horrendous coma not to mention chromatic aberration. Oh and my exposures were a tad long so the core is blown out too.
Anyway still a much better picture than my attempts from Brisbane.
