This has to be my favourite image taken back in July.
The Andromeda Galaxy M31.
Being December, I decided to reprocess the final stacked image & process utilizing the screen mask invert method in attempt to bring out some of the faint IFN as well as some finer dust from M31.

Marc , I'd be proud of that Galaxy . That is finely detailed and the blue tint is really good . I have to learn how to bring all that out , with all the data that I collect.
