Leo Triplet From Bromley

[Carole]

Bit stuck for targets, Set up is really too small for galaxies, Stuck at home in LP Bromley, and targets near the Zenith require a non windy night due to having to take the dome off.

Taken over 3 nights, started this last weekend with a Hutech filter, Got RGB on the second night and last night got Luminance, as I wanted to compare with the Hutech filter, but can't see much difference with this particular target and conditions.

M65, M66 & NGC3628

Lum 13 x 600
Hutech filter 18 x 600
RGB 8 x 300 binned (each)
Total imaging time 2020 6 hours 40 minutes

I then decided to combine it with the data from 2012 as it was still quite noisy.
2012 image, both taken from Bromley, and the 2012 one was done with a DSLR.

2012 & 2020 Combined
With 2 hours Modified Canon 450D + data above = Grand total of 8 hours 40 mins.

Good result Carole.  I know you don't like to image galaxies but those three are nicely framed and the resolution seems good for detail.

Thanks Roberto.

I know you don't like to image galaxies

Mainly because my set up is not suited to small galaxies.  Plus I really don;t like imaging LRGB from Bromley, but no real choice at the moment.
