Leo Triplet First Light

Enjoying a good stretch of clear nights here in SE Qld at the moment. I got 5 hours and 10 minutes on the Leo Triplet last night (62 x 5 minute subs). Using only my 72ed this was quite wide field so I dithered every frame and then drizzled the result to get more resolution. This is about the maximum detail I can get with this scope, pretty pleased with how it came out. Dew heaters got a work out, very wet evening even tho so clear. Been at this just over 12 months and this is my first attempt at a Galaxy, would love to hear your feedback.

Gear : Skywatcher 72ed with Flattener, HEQ5 Mount, Optolong L-Pro filter, ZWO 071MC Pro cooled camera, ZWO EAF, Pegasus Powerbox Advance, ASI 120mm-mini Guide Camera, SVBony 50mm Guidescope, Sharpcap Polar Align, NINA Aquisition software, PHD2 Guiding. Stacked with WBPP and processed in Pixinsight with final touches in Photoshop.
