About this image

After spending some time with my RC10 scope, I decided to explore what I could get from my 071 camera on my APM 107 refractor with its reducer.

It's been several years since I last visited M31 and at that time, I used an SW ED80 and a Canon DSL, so I decided to repeat that experience with the equipment and software I use now.

Unfortunately, this jpg image does not do justice to the fine detail captured in the original image.
