Leo triplet.

Good to be out imaging but a patch of clouds came through unfortunately. 3 hours of 10 minute subs Canon 60Da through a W/O Flt110. I seem to have a noise issue but it almost seems to be in vertical stripes. Anyway good to get some photons. Slightly cropped. Flats and darks applied.

Looks good, Mark! A few clear nights here too but I have been too busy to get outside yet

Nice shot. Sydney has been cloudy virtually every night for the last 6 weeks its seems. Perhaps 1 or 2 clear nights last week I think. So good work and great to see an image.

You must live on a DIFFERENT Sunshine Coast to me Mark.

2 nights ago was clear... just about to set it all up, and voila - dead power supply.

Was going to be the FSQ106EDXIII's cherry pop too.

Glad you got some imaging time Mark.
Nice detail coming through in the galaxies!

Cheers,

Mark,

I tried your jpg with Imagenomic's Noise reduction tool (colour and luminance noise reduction), and it clarifies significantly.

You my want to try it.

Nice shot. Very envious of scope time!
