Description

Here's a deep image of another famous constellation, Leo this time around. A mosaic of 54 different images with a total exposure time of about 40 hours.

Not nearly as popular as the Big Dipper, but rather timely, as Leo is pretty much present for most of the night sky this time of the year (Northern Emisphere). Once again, check the high resolution image (8000 pixels wide!) for a nice tour discovering many well known galaxies...
