Leo Triplet

An attempt at the Leo Triplet. 20 x 10 minute subs with a QHY8 on a GSO RC 8" scope and an EQ6 mount. Darks, flats, etc applied. The biggest challenge was getting the three galaxies in the tight field of view at the same time as getting a reasonable guide star on the OAG chip!

Still a bit of noise/lack of detail here on this brightish set of targets?? Not sure if it's just dodgy processing. But an (eventual) planned upgrade to a mono camera may help with getting more light/less noise? Comments appreciated.
