Description

This is an image of the Leo Triplet that I made over 2 years ago! I processed it recently because a friend of ours had a son born in early April 2020, and was looking for a middle name. On the way to the registration office he still didn't have one and called me for ideas, asking if there was a special star. I told him that Leo was quite a prominent constellation at the time, and that became his middle name,

So this year he asked me for a photo of it. The best I could do was this image of the Leo Triplet, taken the year before the birth, between March and May 2019, which, until then I had never processed.
