We are having a really good run of clear skies in my bit of the UK for galaxy season, sometimes as many as two or three a week

Here is the Leo Triplet using my TS Optics Imaging star , only 520mm focal length - details better than i got a couple of years ago using my 800mm Newt and DSLR

The stars are roundish as opposed to triangles which i was getting before i had to send the scope back to have the optics adjusted so that good

520 x 30s Lume

240 x 30s for Red, Green and Blue

Total integration time = 10hrs 20 mins
