M31 The Andromeda Galaxy

This is my first attempt at creating a mosiac astronomy image. I didn't have EQMosaic set up properly, hence the gap in the bottom left and some clipping of the galaxy on either side of the image. Next time I will take a little longer setting up however, I am fairly pleased with the result!

 

The image is a Mosaic compiled from 6 panes of 8 x 300s exposures, captured using the QHY8L camera, attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. The images were captured and stacked in Nebulosity 3, aligned using Registar and stitched in Microsoft ICE. Final processing was conducted with Photoshop CS6.
