Saturday night/sunday morning was a really productive imaging session for me. Here are two more objects that I've captured from Changi last weekend:
M31, the Great Andromeda Galaxy, with its satellites M110 and M32. Totalled 50 Minutes of exposure at 800mm FL. Special thanks to George (Looyaa) for helping me to pull out more detail in the spiral arms.
M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. 20 Minutes of exposure in total.

Ivan, Beautiful Images!
Were you able to capture the whole of M31? Yours is cropped.

Re: M31 and M27 from Singapore
I didn't even realize such images are possible in Singapore..
any further details? (FL, focal ratio, number of subs, length of subs...)
