Whooooaaa! Superb!
Andrew you have done an amazing job with it. So much detail and for only 9 degrees. Say no more! 
I would love to have a go at imaging M31 one day.
Very well done.

You have certainly 'got out' what you have 'put in' RB.
Great detail, smooth contrast and depth perception.
Mighty fine work mate.
Cheers
PS How did you achieve such excellence when the seeing was so ordinary? Do you have a magic wand or something?

Lester, Greg, Marc, Eric, Matt, Rick, Phil and John thank you so much for your comments, I'm glad you liked it.
I'm so excited now being able to do around 10 min subs, with the recent addition of the guide scope and finally got the guider and PHD sorted out so I'm looking forward to more opportunities.
It was difficult controlling noise in all my previous images because of such short unguided subs, hopefully now I can improve my shots with the longer sub frames.

Andrew,
Nup, not good enough. I was expecting better of you: wide sweeping magenta widefields. I thought your modified 1Ds Mark III would pick up much more data than you've presented. Quite frankly, I'm disappointed. 
Corker of an image, mate. And, only 40 minutes, too. Dang!
I think M31 has reached its highest point in the sky right now. From now onwards, it's back down she goes.  I miss out, another year.
Well done!
Regards,
Humayun

Cheers Humayun, glad you liked it, LOL nah no 1Ds Mk III mate, I wish.
M31 will be gone for another year now, I won't get a chance at it again either but by next year you'll have your 5D MkII so looking forward to what you come up with.
(I'll help you mask out the magenta )

A cracker image and from about 9 degrees. WOW. At that angle I wouldn't be able to move my scope quick enough to keep up with it. This is a lovely galaxy and you have resolved it very well.
Nice work.

Fabulous.
I have often thought about imaging this one but it is not viewable above my observatory walls. I'd have to setup on my portable tripod which I may do one day.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Greg.

Geoff, Louie, Dr Paul, Fred and Greg, many thanks fellas, I appreciate your comments.
I'm very happy with how it turned out and as you can appreciate not too easy an object to image from the Southern Hemi.
LOL Fred you crack me up !!

Good lord!!! How did I miss this one!  I guess I skipped over it when I saw "Andromeda".
That's a great shot Andrew - well done!
Perhaps you just didn't know you're not supposed to be able to image Andromeda well from these latitudes? 
Cheers, Marcus
