Leo Triplet - 1st attempt

[erialc79]

Here is my first crack at imaging a galaxy (or three). Makes all the effort worth while even it isn't going to win any prizes!!

[laser_jock99]

Good effort- any equipment details?

[Zul]

Nice first attempt

[iamzoso60]

You've done well to even pick them up, something I haven't done yet.

Details on equipment used please.

[ollypenrice]

Yep, good first go. You need flats - urgently! They will make a vast difference.

Well done! Good framing and good focus, your on your way!

[kenmyers]

Thats excellent for a first try.

You need to somehow make 'space' a bit darker lol (not an imager myself)

Nice round stars, imige is very clear even though it looks a little 'white'

well done.

[erialc79]

Sorry folks. Its 4 x 2 minute images at ISO1600 using a Skywatcher startravel 80 on a EQ5 and a Canon EOS digital Rebel. Fairly modest Equip. Hopefully Flats will help make the sky look a little darker. I think overdid the curves a little as its slightly brighter in the centre of the image?

hi does anyone know how i upload an image onto here? i've tried but just cant seem to do it.

Hi, good effort, and nice sub lengths for the EQ5, better than I could get out of mine I think the brightness in the centre of the image might be vignetting, I think its flats you need like Olly said.
