Description

This is an image of the Leo Trio: M65 (lower right), M66 (lower left), and the Hamburger Galaxy NGC 3628 (top). It is a total of 4.2 hours of LRGB data taken through a Stellarvue  SVX180T refractor with a Zwo ASI6200MM camera. It was cropped to highlight the galaxies. The moon was bright throughout the session and thin clouds were ever-present. Taken from my backyard at the New Mexico Astronomy Village.
