Description

Leo Triplet

Leo Triplet also known as the M66 group is made up from 3 galaxies M65, M66 and NGC3628. The group lies approximately 65 Million light years away. The data that make up this image was gathered over 4 nights 12,13,15 and 25th Feb. A lot of sub-frames were rejected for G,B and L due to poor seeing.

Dedicated to Ozzy - A wonderful domesticated feline quadruped. He was more of a Leopard than a Lion but I will remember him every time I look in the direction of Leo.
