Leo Triplet

Last Friday ad Saturday gave us clear skies.
So out with the scope and camera.
This time the Leo Triplet, M65, M66 and NGC 3628.
Something happened at 1.18AM Sunday morning. The guide star was lost and when it found one again and locked on, the galaxies had moved to the edge of the frame. I had to throw away quit a lot of subs.
Still total integration is 6 hours, 180s @ ISO800 including darks and flats.

Imaging camera: Canon EOS M6 Mark II
Guide camera: ZWO ASI120MM mini
