Description

NGC3628 is part of the Leo Triplet of galaxies located about 35 Mly away. It is an edge on galaxy distorted due to gravitational interactions with its neighbors M65 & M66.

I was going to wait to post this after getting more imaging time, but I have a new camera coming in and it is unlikely that I will get any more clear sky time before the new camera is here. Outside of testing I probably won't use the old camera much going forward, so I decided to go ahead and post this now.
