ASTRO: M31
I was not able to get more exposures before the clouds moved it.
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. |

Bet there's even more detail to be pulled from the image, especially in the star clouds and dust lanes. Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.

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

Good image, that camera and scope seem to be a good match.
is 7.3 the native focal ratio for the TOA 150? On Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:24:03 -0500, Robert Price wrote: I was not able to get more exposures before the clouds moved it.

Robert,
stars look perfect in the whole field. This must be a great scope. And the result looks good in spite of the short exposure time. Stefan "Robert Price" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Is it an Asteroid? I have caught several in past images but none
that moved as much, but a satellite would move much more, unless it was very far away.
