My first image of 2020.
It's the well known Andromeda Galaxy imaged with the Takahashi Epsilon 180 F/2,8 astrograph (pier5).
69 subs were stacked of only 1 minute exposure time.
It's really amazing what you can get with a relatively short integration time of 69 minutes.
Image processing has been done in PixInsight.

That is lovely Mike so much detail. You are right lots of short subs with CMOS sensors work much better......I think we are going to see a change in the way imaging is done as the technology progresses. I cant wait for bigger pixel CMOS to become more accessible.

You have processed a great image here Mike, so well done to you. As far as the resolution is concerned and when I uploaded my NGC 7822 images recently, I saved them image in a .png format, in fact I always use this format. But it seemed ok on this forum. It is worth a try anyway.
Have a good night and thanks Simon

Hi Mike, Im not sure I will pass this over to Phil as he is the tech head on Web stuff he might have a better answer for you.

Looks ace mike, nice image!
As you say CMOS has some fantastic merits for fast collection of quality Data
Roll on buying my first big pixel CMOS Kelper

when posting pictures, after you have attached them it gives you the option to put them “inline” in the post
this shows them in the main description rather than as an attachment. It also shows a larger version as well

ps am I ok to share your image on social media ?

Hi Mike,
I agree your image is amazing, and together with others that have been uploaded, gives me such encouragement to really knuckle down and learn more about serious processing. That is such a wonderfully balanced image and I think would be a good challenge for me to try and emulate. If I could end up with anything close to that then it would bode well for the future. Also really amazed by how little integration time was used, as I've never owned a fast scope like that and tended to go the mono route.
Cheers,
Ray
