Last shot of M31, the Andromeda galaxy..........for a while anyway :)
I've managed to add the Ha data to it, it took a good while to figure out continuum subtratction and I think some debateable quality in some of the data definately didn't help. Out of the 21 hours of total data I imaged I set really strict options with the stacking script and it helped loads leaving 13 hours total. In astrophotography terms this isn't a lot of data but it's my biggest set to date and I am pretty happy with it.
Onto other targets now with a new harmonic mount I got recently, bring back the clear nights!!

A bit gutted we had to change plans at the last minute for the eclipse, the original location was unfortunately plastered in wildfire smoke, so a mad dash ensued and we ended up at Carn Galver. This isn't the best composition, but it's what I got and the whole thing was a great experience 🌜🌞🌛

The Perseids over St Helens Oratory.

Taken over the peak of the meteor shower 13th August 12am till 3:45am.

The airglow was once again very strong giving the meteors an ethereal green backdrop to set them off.
