Description

This image was taken over two nights in March 2024 with an ASI2600mm Pro through an Explore Scientific 127ED on an EQ6-R Pro mount.

The image comprises:

L:     48  x  180s
R:     20  x  180s
G:     20  x  180s
B:     20  x  180s

Total integration time was five hours and 24 minutes. The image was captured with APT, processed in Pixinsight, and tweaked in Photoshop.

I hadn't attempted the Leo Trio since spring 2020 - before the move from NY to AZ - so this spring seemed an apt time to give it a second shot. The 127ED captures all three galaxies very nicely in its FOV.
