The Leo Triplet

[Colorado CJ]

Finally had a clear night last night, I only had time to shoot luminance and not RGB, so this is only black and white for now. I will shoot the RGB and Ha filters when I get another clear night.

The Leo Triplet, 48, 2 minute subs.

More great astro.

Great detail, and of course the color data will really add to the overall impact once you collect it. It is interesting to see the different seeing here versus some of the southern areas I have imaged this same object. But a very nice result in any case. And I am sure you already know that you can get away with less color data than luminance data and still end up with a very pleasing result.

Very clean looking result - can't wait to see this one in color.

This looks great! I am actually enjoying a bit of this behind the scenes look Andrew. It’s interesting to watch them come together.
