Leo Trio Deep Field

There are very few regions in the sky that have three fairly bright galaxies close enough to get in one frame with my current imaging equipment. 300mm astrograph at f/4.9, focal length 1470mm. These are the Leo Trio found in the constellation Leo the Lion. But it is no consequence that they look like they are together. They actually are quite close to each other, so much so that the top one, NGC 3628 known as the Hamburger Galaxy and the lower left, M66 have had a close encounter a long time ago. The intense disruption caused by gravity can bee seen with a tidal stream coming off the Hamburger galaxy and the distorted spiral arms in M66 with intense star birth at its centre. The lower right galaxy, M65 seems calm, but it too will eventually experience similar contortions as it is getting very close to M66. I imaged the Leo Trio over 13 moonless nights this past winter. There are 40 hours of total data using LRGB and hydrogen-alpha filters.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
