The Leo Triplet

My image of the Leo Triplet was 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. Settings were 50s and 800ISO. I captured 130 images, 30 flat frames and 30 dark frames. All were stacked in Sequator, processed in Siril and finished of in Gimp 2.10 using star reduction. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star.
