Description

Even though I have been in the hobby for a few years, it's actually my first time imaging the Leo Triplet. The reason is twofold: Seattle weather is just awful at this time of the year, and broadband projects are really hard from Bortle 8 sky.

We had an unusual stretch of nice weather, so I decide to give this target the attention it deserves. It's also the first 'serious' project for the SCA260. I've been pretty happy with the light gathering ability of the scope.
