Description

Finally the clouds granted me about an hour for the Leo Triplet. The image is 50% cropped because the T-ring sits loosely on the DSLR causing a bent optical axis resulting in trailing stars at image corners (in spite of autoguiding) in addition to a not too accurate coma corrector. Curiously, the Nikon D5500 produces more noise than the Nikon D5300 (same settings) in spite of sporting the same sensor. Hmm....
