Description

I did some close up images of M95 and M96 galaxies over the last couple of years, but thought I try to get M105 and friends in the frame with those 2 in what is sometimes known as the other Leo Triplet. Not sure that I particularly like this one, but here it is anyway.....

Vers B - I used Registar to align the recently captured wide field image with the higher resolution images of M95 and M96 previously captured with my C14, which can be seen individually at...

M95 - https://www.astrobin.com/290344/

M96 - https://www.astrobin.com/342847/

These 3 images were then combined using ImagesPlus, with the galaxies set to lighten blend mode.
