Saturn and the Leo Triplets

Hi,

I got out again the other night as Sydney has been having some wonderfully clear nights of late (someone must have sold a scope) and as I recently was able to bag the Leo Trio with my 300mm lens I thought I would see what I could get if I went wider and used my 100mm f2.8 lens (a macro).
Well after stacking 13 x 2min shots with 7 darks and 15 lights the below is what I got. A wide field taking in both Saturn and the Leo Trio (small but there).
Also is a crop of the trio from the original tiff.
Dont think I will try to get them in my 10-22mm though .
