Description

It's time of the year, so here is yet another M31 Andromeda Galaxy. It's been over a year since I started this hobby. Still remember my first upload to AB was exactly M31! Standard LRGB + Ha data stacked in APP and processed in PixInsight. Thanks to many fellow AP hobbyists who made insightful PixInsight tutorials, I was able to put my Ha data in good use. I took a separate set of lights for the core but decided not to use them. The reason being M31 has a very active core, it just seems more natural to not HDR-process the core so long as the core is not (super) overexposed. Of course this is just a matter of taste in terms of backyard AP.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Clear Skies!
