Hey everyone,
It's Andromeda time again! I come back to this target at least a couple times a year as sort of a barometer of how my skills and gear have improved my results. I finally have a good focal length to get the whole field, and I was super happy with the results over last time. This was also my first time using a mono camera on it, and it really paid out on the detail. Using the F3 reducer allowed me to gather a ton of light in just part of an evening for the RGB data. Comments and criticism welcome as always.
