Leo triplet

This one is actually the first guided set for me done on the 5th May.
M65, M66 and NGC 3628 The Leo Triplet.
I started off with a single 3 minute sub, then jumped to 5 minutes (x32), then 7 x 10 minute subs.
But by then the house got in the way so i moved onto M20.
A total of just under 4 hours with the Ed80 and L-pro filter.
Cropped
Obviously not the greatest Triplet you will ever see, but it's a start.

Love the detail in this image. My mind boggles at the sheer scale of time and space that is evident in images like yours.

I think you have done really well Tony.

Some might say a tad black clipped (you can lose data).

Well done

Wonderful image and has me thinking about the distances which really are beyond comprehension.
Don't find any fault with it there is no need.
