Welcome to SGL. Thats an amazing amount of detail...

But thats also a very long exposure :shock:

Thanks for sharing.

I have not seen those two galaxies on here before, but maybe I just missed seeing them.

That is a wonderful pairing, they are quite close together in Leo these two, and your image is much much better than the Messier album.

Very nice indeed, and welcome to SGL, we hope you continue to post your work on here.

Ron.
