More QHY9 "sea trials" from Wiruna - Leo triplet and Eye of Jupiter

Found time tonight to finish these 2 off from the SPSP:

2hrs on the Leo triplet (LRGB 45:30:30:30mins - 5mins subs no binning)
NGC 3242 (Eye of Jupiter) (LRGB 300:180:180:180secs - 100sec L, 60sec R,G & B subs 1x1)

Both 8" Newt, QHY9/QHY Filters, MPCC, FL 1000mm (no barlows etc)


Leo triplet in mono (Lum only) and LRGB

Eye of Jupiter shown as unprocessed LRGB stack and again with a touch of deconvolution and HDRwavelets from Pixinsight to spread out the dynamic range. Glad I reduced the exposure times, and this is still without any stretching and seems a bit burnt out. Reasonably happy with the Eye though after comparing past efforts from luminaries such as Fred and Rolf
