Managing the Core of M31 - Andromeda Galaxy

Post by PETER LOO »

The Core of M31 is bright and difficult to deal with, i found one method that works for me, ie. select Log stretch instead of Linear in MaximDL software for processing.

Thanks, nice friends :) , can't see much with my 65mm scope, had to rely on Alex SV110ED and saw Andromeda 1st time with my very own eyes (last time always attach some electronic devices like integration cam etc. to see, the feel was not so immense :) )
