It's Andromeda season! My latest attempt at m31, with a nearly 15-year-old SBIG ST-8300M camera. I'm amazed at how this camera is still ticking along, but I think it may be time for an upgrade soon. lol!
Taken from a Bortle 5 suburban back yard. Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 at f/3.6 with the 0.73x CR Reducer. SBIG ST-8300M at 1x1 binning, with the FW5-8300 5 position filter wheel. IDAS LPS-D3 36mm unmounted filter for luminance and Astronomik Deep-Sky 36mm unmounted RGB filters. Losmady G11 Gemini 2, guided with a piggybacked AstroTech 65EDQ and an Orion StarShoot autoguider. Software included PHD2 for guiding, Sequence Generator Pro for acquisition, and Siril for image processing.
