Tricky getting those in the same field of view. Great stuff.
Nicely done Jeanette. I bet I know what you are going to be shooting on the weekend.

Yes, more data on the way.
The gradient is from Caboolture.
I only used curves and levels on it so far.
Not enough data to push it further.
The image lost a fair bit of resolution when it was compressed. But you get that.

I like it, and first time I have seen both galaxies in the same FOV. Nice colour too.
All the best for more.

That is a great image Jeanette, nice to see four M galaxies in the same field.

Wow! M31?
That's extreme widefield. Shaving the horizon.
You're game. Nicely done

Very unique JJJ. Never seen them together before. Now I know their relative sizes. Well done.

It's also interesting to know that the separation between the two, as you see there, is actually about 750kly in physical distance.

Amazing, I'll have to write a little blurb at the bottom of the image so I won't forget.
