Reshot M31 on October 8th following a cool front that cleared the air and dropped the temps to 46 degrees. This allowed the use of a higher iso setting (1600) at 2 1/2 minutes, 26 frames.

Since the conditions were cooperating for m31, I went ahead and reshot m45 for good measure. 20 frames @ iso 1600, 2.5 minutes each

More of the same... seeing was great and nice and cool, 20 images @ iso 1600, 2.5 minutes each.

Sold in nov. 05

40 45 second exposures, iso 800 and 1600.
