Howdy all,

This is another widefield of this special trio....this was taken on 1-21-07 and I'd hoped for more information, but the weather has not cooperated, so here 'tis.

Hi Bud,
another fine shot from you, I love looking at this trio. If only you could image the three or four similar in Grus.
I will give this Leo Trio a go in the next few weeks, and we can compare. Very nice,
Gary

hi Bud,

perfect guiding as we are used to see in Your images.
sorry that You had no cooperative weather - I know how this is.
You made a great effort anyway!
for these circumstances a very beautiful image!

seeing was not the best obviousley,... so I`m looking forward to see this trio when You have good conditions and then we`re dropping our jaws!

but there is one thing supercool!
You have gotten this faint "antenna-like" outbirst of the ngc!
this is rare in trio images!!!

warm regards
Dietmar

I think this is the killer of us all......good weather, and guaranteed to be full moon.
