TAC is a visual list, so I promise only one technical response :-)

It's 6+ hours of exposure. A mosaic of two frames. I did do some narrow band, but it didn't add much so I left it out.

Home made 13" carbon fiber newtonian astrograph

AP900 mount, controlled with NINA

Nice image. 

I finished processing the Leo triplet yesterday, also from Los Gatos. Mine is from an ED 127 refractor on a EQR6 pro mount with a risingcam 2600c (same sensor as yours) and an Svbony CLS filter.
