Leo Triplet
This is my first attempt at these galaxies.
Wasn't sure about the framing, obviously.

No guiding, just 17minutes of 20 sec subs @ iso 1600.

Taken using....
sw proed 80
on the iOptron Mini Tower (of terror)
Canon 20d

It's looking good for another attempt tonight.

I agree! I have never seen a Leo Triplet with so very short times of exposure. My respect!

It's capable of guiding, but it has to be put on an eq mount.
I'll work on that soon.

Great image JJ. Definately worth putting some time into and getting more data to work with. Your camera never fails to impress.
Well done and I look forward to seeing more data.

Nice work JJJ, you're certainly wringing every last drop out of that cube.

Thats a great effort JJJ especially when you consider the short subs. I wonder how the mini tower would go if you mounted it on a wedge.
