It's not a difficult object to photograph. You don't even need a telescope, just a camera that is capable of taking long exposures, and a reasonably fast lens.

Sure, it's not easy to get a good photo of M31 with the core properly exposed as well as the fainter details, but getting a quick and dirty photo is no problem at all. That's all I was saying. I fully appreciate how hard it is to get a "keeper" of M31.
Are you sure about that? A 13 inch refracting telescope would be huge.

Its most likely a Schmidt-Cassegrain. It is easy to confuse those with a refractor.
