Default ASTRO: M31

I agree, if you look in the dark corners of the frame you will see
some small galaxies. Not bad for 23.5 minutes.

Seeing was good, total exposure was 23.5 minutes. M31 on 7 September
2010 from a farm just south of Blueknob state park, PA. TOA150 at
F/7.3. STL11000M, 2x10 min L, 1x3.5 min L. Full frame, no reduced.

That camera and scope are well matched for this one. Bet there's even
more detail to be pulled from the image, especially in the star clouds
and dust lanes.
