Default ASTRO: Quick and dirty M31 LRGB

i shot some unfiltered lumnance last night of M31: 3.75 hours. I added that
to the color image (6 hours) taken last week to make an LRGB

this was a quick and dirty processing of the data using some old version of
photshop on my laptop.

I am curious to see how this will look when I can get back to my regular
computer for processing it.

Using the PL39000C one shot color in conjunction with the PL16803 for
luminance seems like a good way to go. The scope was an AP%%EDF f/7 with the
4" field flattener

The Luminance was shot last night with about 83% of the lunar disk
illuminated. The skies were reasaonably transparent it seems.



That laptop monitor must be dying. The image is way too bright on mine
losing a lot of detail and color.
