ASTRO: NGC224 (M31 ) in halpha at 7 hours

Here is a total of 7 hours (21 x 20 minutes) of the M31 image I have been
shooting

http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/m31...er_ha_page.htm

shot under a near-full moon the past two nights from my mag 3.2 skies in my
backyard in Castro Valley, Ca.

I used an FSQ106 telescope for taking the image along with an FLI IMG6303E
camera with the very nice 50mm Baader Planetarium 7nm Halpha filter. That
has to be the best bang for the buck in narrowband filters these days.

total exposure was 7 hours (21 x 20 minutes).

I may take some more exposure tonight, but may switch to something else.....

Looks good now... very nice floating in that field of stars.
