Hello everyone
I have been dying to image this. All the time I was in the NH before moving to Australia, did I ever get to turn a scope and camera on to this. Of course, from Canberra latitudes, it barely skips the horizon if at all, but here at Beaver Lake, it has an 80+ degree altitude. The only downside is that as it moves through North, it does so through heavy light pollution coming off the city of Omaha. So, the job of removing that light pollution has been a real challenge. I am going back to M31 over the next few nights to add about 6 hours HA; the right thing to do in the prevailing moon.
So, this is an LRGB image of 3:1:1:1 hours, FSQ106N, STL11K.
