I have a lot of work to do... not quite happy with the results but better than my real first attempt two nights ago.   M 31 by gshappell, on FlickrCanon 70d, 450d

Have a search for "gradient removal" or "light pollution removal" techniques using p/s layers. Be gentle, but I think that you'd get a good result if you could even the background out a bit.

Jan 10, 2012 10:11 | #5 The only real issue you're having is that 24mm is really too wide for a good M31 shot. It would work great for the MIlky Way, though.
