Description

Another target from last Friday night: the Leo Triplet, a beautiful group of three galaxies, M65 (top right), M66 (bottom right), and the "Hamburger Galaxy" NGC3628 (left). This is the only moment of the year I can image this target, but only with 1 hour time window after it emerges from behind my roof and before it disappears behind the neighbouring house. I'm quite happy with the result, despite it being only about 30min R channel + 30min B channel + synthetic G channel!
