The Andromeda Galaxy from Beaver Lake -with 6hrs Ha

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.

Thanks for looking as always.

cheers
Martin

Another corker of an image. The detail present in the satellite galaxies is amazing!

Nice image Martin.

I have frequently remarked to our Northern Hemisphere friends in other forums they are very lucky to have a wonderful variety of galaxies as imaging targets.

A good solid image of this northern favouite for wide fielders..(umm..like Fred )

Good to see you hammering away so soon after settling in a new country.

I know you are from the northern hemisphere but does the sky now take on a whole new meaning?
