Leo Quadruplet with new 450D

Hi
had another play with the 450D. Though not modded, I thought I'd try it with galaxies, along with a newly purchased Hutech LPS filter. The Live View is FANTASTIC, taking about 5 seconds to get precise focus

Star Atlas pro showed if I move the Triplet to the right I will also fit in NGC 3593, making it a quadruplet group

8x10 mins ISO400. Hutech LPS filter, Baader MPCC coma Corrector. 6 inch f3.6 Schmidt Newtonain Meade "Cometracker"
processed in Iris and PS as usual. Little bit of internal reflection from brightest star there.
Cold conditions. Therre is NO AMP GLOW at all, and few very hot pixels. A modded version of this camera, with this and the 14 bit depth will rock! A cooled one even better
