Description

I was fortunate to have several clear nights around a new moon towards the end of January. My main target was NGC 1333 but this went behind a roof line at 1am and hunting around I saw the Leo Triplet was rising above the treeline. I love this galaxy group. I have had a couple of half-hearted attempts at this target in the past but was always defeated by clouds.

I would like more time on this target but I'm fairly pleased with what I've got so far. Hopefully I can add to the data.
