About this image

First serious attempt at M31 with my Redcat 51mm, from a Bortle 6/7 location (Portsmouth). Captured 155 x 180 seconds with broadband filter. Also, 40 x 180 seconds with L-enhance. Processed in PixInsight. Still experimenting and wanted to see if using the ZWO 2600MC with different filters would make a difference.
