Details:
Again we tested the limits of the Seestar smart scope, this time by hunting down the dwarf galaxies Leo I, II and III.
Leo I was not so hard, only Regulus was an annoying source of interference. Leo III has a lower surface brightness but was still quite doable under rural skies. Leo II was the most complicated target, it has an extremely low surface brightness but still came out noticeable.
For all three images the green channel of the original Seestar FITS files was extracted and stretched with Siril and then contrast enhanced with Photoshop.
