Leo triplet

[Kevin Phillips]

Had a really good week of clear skies.

I had a go at the Whale galaxy NGC4631.

7hrs integration. 

Exposure 360sec. 

HEQ5 rowan driven.

Horizon f7 duplet refractor .

Zwoasi294 and L pro filter

Process in Startools and photoshop.

Guiding was below arc second. 

Thanks for looking.

Very well done Kevin.  Excellent definition and colours in the Whale.  

I believe the object beneath the Whale is NGC 4627, a dwarf elliptical galaxy no less, 30 million LYs from Earth.
