Description

The Leo Triplet is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628 - Wikipedia


These bad ass galaxies fit nicely in my frame of view for the FLT132 at 1.0xFF F6.9 , and how bright they came out, I have to guesstimate how many frames I actually used for the stacking. Due to some street lights toward the end of the evening it ruined over half my green frames, so out of 120 I only used about 30 of them. For galaxies I m really not sure how much RGB data I need, the 30 G seems to do the job, almost as good as the 100 B. If you have any tips for galaxies, let me know!
