My first Leo Triplet

Hi,

I thought I would post this at this rediculous hour because the clouds rolled in and stopped my mate and I imaging Jupiter.

Talen using my W/O Flt 110 Flourite and Canon 400d unmod ISO 800 stacked using DSS and processed using Photoshop CS3 for only about 20 minutes. The reason it only took 20 minutes is because I don't know what to do after that.

Image is 12 x 10 minutes lights with 8 x 10 minute darks. No flat as you may be able to tell with my lovely dust mites and I used a paintbrush type tool to get rid of a satellite trail through the guts. Guided usinf PHD. The temp was 21c so am very happy with the results.

I had to slightly crop image by about 20% as I also had to flip the scope half way through.

Any advice welcome.
