M31
This is another image from the Kelling Heath Star Party I attended at the end of September 2008. The image was taken using my Hyperstar setup, which has the perfect FOV for this object. M31 is however a difficult object to process give the range of brightness between the core and outer edges. I hope to capture some more data on this one, so keep an eye out for updates
