    Seeing wasn't great last night, but managed to put this together...

    Presenting the Leo Triplets in monochrome. The seeing condition was poor and surface gusts didn't help.
    This is 60 second exposure using Stack Pro™ for a stacked four to total 240 seconds. Four such runs were taken and these stacked on the PC for a total of 16 minutes. Under better conditions, will frame the galaxies properly as I had used a star to center the FoV.
    Nice feature of Maxim D/L is ability to plate solve, calibrate the CCD FoV and then one can mouse-click on the taken image where to move the scope and better frame the shot.
