Leo Triplet Galaxies, 22 x 300 Second/5 Minute Frames, taken with Sharpstar 100qii Refractor and ZWO ASI183 Astro Cooled Camera overnight 22nd February 2026. These three with distances ranging between 30 to 40 Million Lightyears Away.

NGC 2070 The Tarantula Nebula and surrouds.

Another 'trying' and perplexing session with the NINA (Nighttime Imaging 'N Astronomy) program on a remotely controlled PC. Frames combined and enhanced in PixInsight. Interestingly I think the lack of data precipitated a change to my usual imaging process.   Then use of RCAstro's Blur Exterminator on the linear data, even at less than 10% of its full strength was way to harsh on the surrounding nebulosity.

I took to stretching to Non-Linear (a usual step) and then applying  Blur Exterminator at 40% for a much better result.
