I’m honestly a little surprised at how well this turned out. Leo’s Triplet (M66) captured only with a one-shot-colour camera, the QHY247C and the Celestron RASA 11″ over 80 minutes. Of course this galactic neighbourhood contains far more than 3 galaxies and is a part of a cluster filled with nearby fuzzy blobs. By running the image through PixInsights image solver and annotation tool you can reveal these explicitly :
