Re: M31
You nicely captured the faint edges of the disk.
I actually had two nice evenings and imaged the same target with my ASI533 and Sharpstar 61. 600+ subs at 60 sec. Your field is larger though with the 1600.
Looking forward to your additional data. Still have plenty of time! Nice work!

Thanks Jim... I think I posted the M31 from the 533 and ED102 earlier in the week. This is also cropped by about 15% width and 30% vertical. Nothing interesting in the field cropped out.
I am running some new darks for the 533 and apply them to M17 captures from last night before I setup M31 and went to bed.
Glad you got some imaging time, I know it's been sparse for you. I will be watching for your work, always great work.

I imaged M31 with the ED102/Nikon D5300 years ago and it just barely (not completely) fit in the

Re: M31
Thanks Marius. I've previously imaged with it on both triplets. I won't be using a newton anytime soon.
