The Leo Triplet


The first clear night in two weeks. And even though it was the first quarter of a new moon, I felt I had to go out to WCO to do some imaging. The seeing was terrible as well. All in all, not ideal imaging conditions. I wanted to image the Leo Triplet (M65, M66 and NGC 3628) which, as it happens was only 20 degrees away from the moon. This is a quick process of the image. 10 exposures only at 5 minutes each. No black frames and no flats. I'll be reprocessing this one when I have some time.
