Thank you for suggestions for improvement on my first deep sky image.

Apologies. I should have stated it is an untracked image.

John,

We can start with a few basic pointers in processing.  1) The sky background is a little too dark for most peoples' tastes ("clipped"smile.  2) There is a purple glow around M31.  3)  The noise level is quite high.   Point #3 may or may not be something you can address with the data you have.

Hope this feedback helps you get to the next level with processing.
