I reprocessed my Andromeda image to only do LRGB. This brings the integration time down from 32 hours to 14.85, but this version is much more true to life and doesn't have a blown out core. Taken from bortle 8-9 skies.

I reprocessed my Andromeda image to add in HSO data on top of my LRGB image bringing it back up to the full 32 hours of data. It really highlights the areas of H-Alpha data in red. Bortle 8/9 can't stop me! (at least with M31)
