I had one night with dark skies (bortle 2), 2 1/2 hr drive and will do it again when I can. So I picked M-31 and M-42 to shoot, almost 4hrs each that's all I could do.

Andromeda looks very green on my color-calibrated monitor. Nice processing though otherwise.

Very nice. Your new version of M31 is much better.
