Hi Guys,

After 5 months without pictures, a very bad weather here, I
completed my Leo Triplet by more luminance exposures and with the
RGB information.

The final luminance has 13h20min. of total exposure taken under the
Full and the First Quarter of Moon.

I used my Titan mount with my William Optics FLT-110 f/6.5 Triplet
SD APO OTA, my ST-10XME to take this image.

Details and the image at this following link on my website :

Enjoy !!!!!

Best Regards,

Florent

Simply gorgeous image. Looks like you got great tracking with
the Losmandy mount. The colors and detail are super. You did
a great job on the image processing. I also like the way you
separated out the 3 galaxies into their own images.

Florent,

What a simply fabulous image!  I'd say that's almost worth trading 5
months of bad weather for.

Hi Clyde

Thank you very much for your message. It was a big work to take this
Triplet with the Full Moon.

I just reprocessed my image.

You can see that at this link :

   http://www.astrosurf.com/ccdaltazao/immonth.html

Can you give me your opinion about this new version ??? I recalibrated
my monitor because I discovered the background of my first version was
too magenta.

I wait your comments. Thanks.

Best Regards,

    Florent

Flo,

I like the reprocessed image better with the blacker background.  At
least it appears darker on my computer screen.

Very cool images! Incredibly sharp. Great tracking.

It looks like those galaxies are... just floating is space.

Sorry, English isn't my second language.

I meant those galaxies look like they are just floating IN space.
