Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC 3628)

[nucdoc]

Here is the data I have so far, one hour each for L, R, G, B, in 10 minute subs.

Atik 383l, Astronomik CCD RGB filters and Astronomik CLS filter.  TMB 175 f/8, with Riccardi 0.75x reducer/flatener.

I will need more data to get the tidal tail for NGC 3628, although I am not sure it is possible to capture it from my light polluted urban setting, will have to see how it goes.

Also wondering if there is much Ha in this region, will try and collect this when the moon is out

 

Comments and criticisms welcome

Nailed it :-) Fantastic target well processed.

I was wondering about the ha as well so thought I'd capture some last night (skies were amazing here) but, alas, a number of bottles of lager, a visit from my daughter and a warm living room and music got in the way. :-)

Really like your processing on M66
