More Suburban Astroimaging - Leo Triplet

[RichardJ]

Some more images taken from my home in Carlingford with my 12-inch Dob.
M65, M66 & NGC 3628. Being in a small valley Leo is pretty low from my place.

Great detail there Richard. How long were the exposures?

[RichardJ]

Hi Geoff,

I use live stack in ShapCap and the exposures usually go for a couple of minutes or until I can’t see any more improvement in the image. It is a great way to image.

Richard :)
