M31 28/08/2005116 viewsM31 in Andromeda
Date: 16/08/2005
Lens: RFT 805 80mm f:6,25 refractor
System: prime focus (used filters: Baader Fringe Killer and Skyglow)
Camera: Canon EOS 300D
Exposure: 100sec @ 1600ASA
Autoguiding: Pentacon 400/5.6 AstroArt
Treatment: Photoshop Astrophotography Tools
Remarks: The original image suffers from light pollution (like all my images do). At longer exposures the light pollution cuts down the details in the image. With digital development most of the light pollution can be removed. But that's a very time consuming job. Noel Carboni has written an interesting suite of PhotoShop Actions who are very interesting to automate the digital development. Especially the Light Pollution Removal is very strong.
The photo of M31 has been treated with the Light Pollution Removal filter. For the first time details in the spiral arms are visible. Next step will be longer exposure and multiple images.
