Andromeda again!

This image taken on the 17th October.
Another go at M31, this time with the 200mm lens fitted to the Canon 350D and mounted onto the ST80 mount. I also used dark frames and a flat frames with this one for the first time. I must admit that I don't fully understand flat fields. The ones used here were shots of an empty twilight sky. I love the widefield view of the stars with Andromeda in the centre. I still can't find the 'ulimate' image, but i'm trying hard!
Weather at the moment is gorgeous, warm sunshine and freezing cold but clear nights
