Description

NGC3628 is the final and last piece of the tryptic better known as the Leo Triplet and as the saying goes the best for last as this is the most intriguing and appealing member of the trio. Used to be that the fame of a budding astrophotographer was decided on how well you could capture and process this galaxy, its bright central dust lane and the very faint outer halo, all of which is tricky in a sub-urban environment. I was most pleased on this rendering and I considered this image one of my very best. The final judgment I leave to you.
