The galaxy trio called the "Leo Triplet" is part of a
large group of galaxies located in the constellation of Leo. It is
a favorite target of astrophotographers and this is my attempt at it.
The image taken by this f/3.8 astrograph is actually very wide and this
is narrowed down considerably so the resolution is not very good. - ISO 800 - F3.8 - 8 minutes exposures (x 4); 32 minutes total - Direct images through the 5" Wright Newtonian Astrograph - Piggyback on the C-14 - Manually guided - Location: TDS 02.28.2009 |
