Three galaxies and a globular cluster

Here are images of the Leo Triplet (M64, M65 and NGC 3628. This is based on around 1 hour 20 mins of data, taken with a Canon 500D on a Skywatcher ED80 (my currrent setup). It was a breeze to get everything set up and calibrated and the tracking was pretty spot on until the clouds rolled in around midnight.

Earlier, while I was waiting for full darkness, I had a quick look (about 30 mins of exposures) at M3 globular cluster in Canes Venatici:
