Nice capture Bob, they're on my to do list as individual targets, but I really like your pairing. Unfortunately that's not possible with my C14/QSI combo, so maybe this year I'll try to get them both one at a time - maybe.... Cheers, Geof

Thanks for your nice comment's Geof it means a lot mate..I also have a WO Star 71 which I have pigy backed on Cpc 1100 and

I was also imaging with that at the same time and I can get all three of the leo triplets galaxies with it . I have a Zwo Asi 1600 mc c  on that scope.

I might post an image from that also.

Yep, you should post the triplet too . I've imaged the triplet a few times, but not recently. I could just squeeze them all in with my old Meade 10" + F6.3 FR and is an easy fit with 4" APO, or WO ZS71, but I'd love to get them full size one at a time.
