Andromeda (M31)

First Deep Space Image. I was mainly testing to learn the focusing range, mount performance, and exposure times. This pic is at Prime Focus; unguided; 800 ISO;10 Lights at 75 secs and 5 darks at 75 secs. Processed with DeepSky Stacker and PhotoShop3 with the Neil Carboni action set. Next set will be longer exposures and the addition of Flats and Bias frames.

I need to resolve some issues with vignetting and coma at the corners. Also adding in some Flats and Bias frames and possibly focal reduction.
