Description

Eye balled many times this my first attempt  at the Leo Triplet at the behest  of my Astro mate Dave Sokolich.
Image 2  from our 3 night clear sky binge  over the April new Moon.
This one was surprisingly noisy  for 5 hrs and 45 minutes of exposure. I think I processed most of it out though......?
Shot over 3 nights with the first night without any filter ( where did I put it !!!) installed and the next  2 with the Optolong L-pro filter. I found controlling the exposure in the cores a challenge to control. Hope you enjoy . Awe and wonder Folks
