Haven't had clear skies here in a couple of weeks so I went back through some recent images I wasn't too pleased with to see if anything could be done. Was out just before dawn a few weeks ago with my Canon RebelXT on my motorized barndoor tracker - using a 35 mm lens aiming at M-31. Looked pretty clear in that area through the binos and the telescope, but when I got 10 frames - 8 useable, some local light pollution was evident:

So this afternoon, I went to PSE4, supplemented by Astronomy Tools, did a little cropping and some processing and came up with something at least a little better:

That's a cool widefield view, not represented so much these days!
