Description

This is my first attempt at imaging some galaxies with my new scope. I was actually planning on imaging the Rosette nebula, but it had set behind a tree, so I went instead with the Leo triplet. 68 subs at ISO 800, all images taken with an unfiltered, unmodified Canon T3 DSLR. Bortle 4-5 skies with a waxing crescent moon.
