Description

I shot the Leo Triplet in April of this year. This is a target I imaged more than a decade ago with a T3i and 2000mm Meade SCT, while this time I used a TEC 140 and ASI6200 camera with Chroma filters. And I had no less trouble this time with color than I did the first time. I find getting galaxy color and star color to both work together is challenging in many or most cases (at least for me).

I hope you enjoy it.
