Hi all. Here is my effort at the Leo Trio from last night. Taken from my back yard in northern Utah. I will post follow-up images of each galaxy at full resolution.
Cheers,
Tyler

Closeup #1 - NGC3628

If you look closely (with the right monitor) you can see a little of the tail the extends out toward the lower left of the screen. I may want to try to process this to bring the tail out a little more.

Nice shot! I've always wanted to address these objects but I never seem to get around to them. Maybe next year. They have passed to far west for me now -- Pocatello light dome!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I will try another processing pass to see if I can get the color balance corrected. Perhaps in a few days I will have another version.
Cheers,
Tyler
