Description

Kicking off galaxy season, I spent some time targeting the famous Leo Triplet of M65, M66 and NGC3628. This is also the first LRGB image I've created with the new 294MM Pro. My Antlia LRGB set had a defective L filter (poor QC led to a protective silicon gasket not being applied properly and intruding into the image circle). Thankfully, I was loaned a set of Astrodon I-Series LRGB filters. I used the Luminance filter from the loaner set and combined it with the RGB data I had already collected from my Antlia filters.

I'm looking forward to imaging Markarian's Chain and hopefully M101 and M51 as well this Spring.

Description: Reprocessed the data from the beginning, trying to get a better balance. I'm still not 100% satisfied, so there will likely be another revision in the next few days :)
