Leo Trio

[peter shah]

Not imaged for a long time with mount problems and work commitments ...and of course not to mention the UK's weather. I've managed to knock out this only a quickie 3x 600s in each LRGB... still with a few small technical issues

thanks for looking

I'm guessing a reflector or RC ...... possibly 250mm......  am I right ??

An AG12 300mm Newtonian

Very nice capture.

[gorann]

Great detail in the galaxies and you near the Hamburger galaxy you have at least caught one quasar (10 000 000 000 light years away - see my recent thread). With more data you will also have the tidal trail. What camera - DSLR?

Looks amazing whether it's a quickie or not  

[nucdoc]

Nice capture, and processing, really like the details in the galaxies

Yes, that is nice. I hope I can get something like it. I'm out in my shed gathering data from the Leo triplet right now.  The sky is rather hazy down here in Cornwall right now. It's quite gusty too which upsets the guiding.

a great image peter.

Looking good Peter for the limited data, your photon hoover helps here .

Well processed and controlled especially with the colour, rich and balanced.  Hope you manage to get more time back at your scope.

Nice tidy image Perter with limited data well done.

Subtle processing and great star colour - All of which is your trademark  I like it

I will take a look at that thread got a link? My camera is an old H35 by starlight xpress... it doesn't have set point cooling so I don't use darks as I can never get them to match properly

Thank you Sara...  nice to be able to get something even if it is only a couple of hours worth....still got to tweak the mount

 

 

Thanks so much for all the feedback 

[ollypenrice]

Great to see you back, Peter, with all your hallmark positives, the rich and subtle colour, great stars etc. Get after that tidal tail. You have the technology!!

Nice detail in the galaxies :-[)
