That is excellent work Michael and you must be extremely happy for such a great result and finally bagging M31 after such a long wait.
It surprises me that your mount worked so well and unguided to boot.
You inspired me to take a peek outside and it's starting to come up which is a big surprise as it was raining a little earlier.
AND now that the 80mm is working in its outside location I thought do it so... I made a cuppa and started getting mentally prepared but looking again I can see some cloud on the horizon ...anyways you have got me all excited

so I hope maybe tomorrow.
Again well done.
