Re: the BEAST FALLS DOWN! M31!..but one problem!

Very nicely framed.

Have you tried setting the black point to loose that orange sky? The other thing to be careful of is that it looks stretched way too far for the data you have - i.e. that banding thats showing up and the noise.

There is a natural temptation to dig out those faint spiral arms - but you should resist and go for longer exposures to get better data
