Andromeda Galaxy from Snake Valley

Andromeda Galaxy captured at Snake Valley Astro Camp. 5 X 5 minute exposures.
I only managed 5 exposures due to a couple of power poles and a power line in the wrong spot for this target. I didn't know if I would end up with anything out of this image as the Galaxy was only at about 10 degrees above the horizon.
M31 is a target I cannot even see from my home so I was pretty excited to even get this much data.
Scope: Takahashi FSQ 106ED at f5.
Camera: QHY8 cooled CCD.
