Description

The M105 group was my original goal, but test shots soon had me change my plans. It is below center and to the left, the brightest member of a trio. The two wonderful spirals, M96 and M95, are nearly centered and above center respectively. Another set of less spectacular spirals along the left (north) side, with NGC3338 in the upper left corner, NGC3367 center left, and NGC3412 in the bottom corner. Some supersaturated stars on the right, but dim galaxies everywhere-- although not quite like the Virgo cluster. Log-log stretch in Maxim, luminance filter.
