M31 with iOptron Skytracker was created by james335k
Hi All,
First chance to try out my skytracker and happy enough with the results. Not bad considering I only used 25 50 second subs - no darks or flats added. Camera used was a Nikon D5100 with a wonderful manual Nikon 180mm f2.8 set at f4

Nice one. Plenty of detail.

What program did you use to stack it?

I used deep sky stacker to stack and modify the image curve slightly to bring out a little more detail. Gimp was used to adjust the colour balance and minimize a little light pollution.
