Leo Duo in color

I added a night of color imaging to the original and some better luminance. The seeing was better last night. 12" F8 Mak-Cass astrograph and SBIG STL11K camera.

Nice! I esp like the "little" galaxies in the field too, which 16-bit and processing accommodate. Olden EK TP2415 film either got the arms or the core but impossible both. I think that nearly graphic arts contrast was equiv to 4 bits! Tom

Pretty cool. I notice a lot of color, blue most likely but maybe a little green too, outside the stars. You might try to Deconvolve just the Blue master before combining RGB to see if that will take care of that. Same thing if it turns out a little green then shows. Sometimes the atmosphere can cause this, or at least I attribute this to that with my site. But the image is very nice with good details.
