Leo1 with Esprit 120 & Canon 60Da

This is another urban imaging effort. The target is a very dim satellite galaxy of the Milky Way some 820,000 light years distant - Leo1. This galaxy is faint and it was tricky to tease out of the light pollution in my driveway. The bright star in the image is Regulus. Click on the image to see an earlier attempt with poor framing.
