Glad you like them. Even with the Light Pollution Filter, my sky background is 16,000 to 24,000 out of 65,535, so a lot of the faint fuzzies and subtle details are lost in the background.


Have you ever tried M 66?


It's on my "to image" list,  along with the bigger 3rd member of the Leo Triplet, NGC 3628. I have to flip the OAG around to image both and get a decent guide star. M61 is another nice one I want to capture and has some interesting companion.


TTYL..
