Another Leo trio

Must be Leo season. Taken last Saturday from Paul Haese's pristine skies near the shores of Lake Alexandrina. Pretty good seeing but very gusty at ground level. I didn't end up with as much data as I would have liked due to a very late start after some computer and electrical glitches. I'm now in the running for the world's slowest drift aligning record. The blue channel was very noisy and there is a slight gradient across the frame. I've done some fairly substantial noise reduction on the background. I'll rework it when I have a bit more time but it's a good start.
