M 31 - The Andromeda Galaxy

I just can't resist shooting Andromeda when it comes into view in my garden. So I shot it once again and I am fascinated by it's details while processing the image. Of course there are far better photos out there, but shooting and processing it is a fun thing to do for me. This time I had 207 lightframes resulting in 3h 27m total integration time. Shot around new moon. Darks and flats applied.
