Leo Triplet

 My image of the Leo Triplet taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera. The camera was mounted on my 80ED APO Skywatcher Refractor telescope with a field flattener; the telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO mount. I captured 70 images, 30 flat frames and 30 dark frames all stacked in DSS, processed in Siril and using star reduction in Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov to focus on a bright star. The exposure was 50s and 800ISO.
