I went back in my collected image archives and gave another post-processing attempt on a 3.5 hour integration of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) that I took back in November of last year with my 50mm Vespera telescope (mosaic mode) when I was on a family trip to the South-rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. My astronomy apps say that my precise location of the capture was about a bortle 1.5. There was no moon out and clear conditions - although VERY cold at the time. I also made a video of my computer screen as I did the post-processing and that is shown at the link below to show you exactly what I did. The Vespera itself gives you an un-stretched single TIFF file output which I then used here. The Vesper is also capable of storing off all the individual FITs files but I did not have that enabled.
