Description

Hi all. Last weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to the home of Jerry and Cindy Foote, in Kanab, Utah, for a little astro-imaging. The conditions were really great and so was the hospitality. I decided to try a mosaic of M31, which I had never really done with my Epsilon 160. This image is a 50% reduced version of the two-frame mosaic. Here is a link to my website, which has a larger version that you can click to view. http://www.allred-astro.com/gpage8.html I am pretty happy with the results, but there is always room for improvement. I probably should have used three frames because I am still cutting off a little bit of the extended portion of the galaxy. Feedback is always welcome. Cheers and Clear Skies, Tyler Takahashi Epsilon 160 Losmandy G-11 with Gemini Level 4 SBIG ST2000XM with CFW-8 and Astrodon Filters 2 Frame Mosaic 5x10 minutes L unbinned (each frame) 4x5 minutes RGB binned 2x2 (each frame) Maxim DL4 and Photoshop CS3
