M31, my first everything for AP, nice to meet you Andromeda.
43 minutes of exposure from my backyard in Washington State, Bortle 7. (86, 30sec. subs, ISO 1600)
Stacked with DSS (86 Lights, 50 flats, 50 darks and 50 Bias frames)
Stretched in GIMP (Obviously, I have a lot of learning to do.)
Explore Scientific ED80, Orion FF, Canon Rebel SL2 (200D unmodified), IOptron ZEQ25GT (unguided)
This was my first time using the (new to me) ZEQ25GT, my second attempt at capturing a DSO with the Canon SL2 (first attempt did not work, but I learned a lot from it). I know I am falling very short on the editing/stretching, but I am extremely pleased with what I was able to accomplish here! I have a few kinks to work out with the whole process, but I would say that this is a very successful first attempt for me!
Happy to accept feedback or suggestions on the process (like how to further edit out the blue glow, without losing a bunch of detail in M31!). Looking forward to many more imaging sessions!!
