Here is my start on M31. This is only 8x600s taken with the 383+L and my Tak FSQ. Hopefully I plan to sped more time on this object if the weather cooperates on my schedule! 8)
Comments welcome..

Well done!

there is some nice details captured in your image. The core is a bit hot but could be dealt with in processing or masking with different exposures.
What filter did you use? When I first tried M31 I could not get that much detail with 600s. I used Ha filter to cut light pollution.
Keep up the good work...

Thanks for the look guys. @Robert, I just used the regular Lum filter.. I plan on going back to get some more time with
shorter exposures, RGB & Ha. Ya, i know the core is hot, I have to learn how to do masking in PS so I can keep it under
control.

Looks like you are having a great start!!!
I also live in high LP area and using Ha filter is a great way to filter out LP.
