Description

The Leo Triplet as seen from my back yard in central PA on 3/12/19 (under fairly heavy Moon light). A small target for sure for my DSLR and lens rig, but I was happy to be able to capture it! Shot with a Nikon D750 and Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 AI-S ED lens + 2x teleconverter giving f/5.6 @ 600mm. 135 x 30" exposures were captured. Tracked using the AstroTrac TT320X-AG. Processed using Lightroom, Deep Sky Stacker, RNC-Color-Stretch, and Photoshop.
