Description

The Leo triplet, from several nights including a bunch of 60sec images from last night under the full moon. This image actually includes several 443mm, 560mm and 400mm focal length images combined from the following equipment:

Sv503ed80 w/ 0.8 focal reducer
Sv48p w/ 0.8 focal reducer
Asiair plus
Sv165 guide show w/asi120mc
Star adventurer 2ai

Combination of 30, 60, 90 and 120sec subs from the last month, all combined somewhat haphazardly in SiriL.

Heavily cropped, but there is an exquisite amount of detail in each galaxy. I look forward to processing this image further to increase contrast and color, and perhaps add further data given this success.
