Description

After a disastrous evening - usb ports not working on the laptop resulting in no guiding, telescope tube that almost fell due to poor locking on the mount, and sub-zero temperatures - I managed to collect 45x60s frames of Leo's triplet, a beautiful group of three galaxies (M65, M66, and NGC3628) in the Leo's constellation located at 35million light-years from Earth. I had to stop the collection when the target disappeared behind the neighbours' roof!
