The Leo Trio

Last night, I went out and did a few hours of imaging.  The first image I took was of M81 & M82 again.  I had the scope well aligned and the stars didnt streak, until I went over to Leo for the trio of galaxies.  I had to shorten the frames to 1 minute.  Even so, the image came out pretty good actually.  This image has only 20 minutes of exposure.

West is up in this image. M65 & M66 are on the right, NGC3628 (The Hamburger Galaxy) is on the left.

The 2nd attempt getting M81 & 82 is here.  This image has over an hour of exposure time, 23 frames each 3 minutes at iso 800.

I believe this one came out better than my last attempt.  It should, being we had a moonless night.
