Description

The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628.

I managed to get a tiny hint of the tidal tail coming off NGC 3528, if you squint you can see it.
