Description

The Virgo Trio: I was just "cruising" Cartes Du Ciel looking for interesting targets and saw this. Turns out to be quite an interesting set to image. It frames nicely in my FOV as well. Unfortunately, this is the worst direction in terms of light pollution for me (right into Austin light bubble) and it doesn't get very high giving very limited opportunity to complete it.

I did manage to collect decent bit of L (though the outer arms of NGC5566 can be resolved better if I had darker skies or longer integration time) but with moon growing and weather unstable, I decided to get color data and process it.

L = 60x5 mins

RGB = 8x5 min/channel
