Description

For this image I combined 3 panels  containing one galaxy each taken from my Ioptron RC 8 f/8, with a wider field of view of all 3 galaxies captured with my Orion 8" f/3.9 astrograph.  Taken over a series of nights in February of 2022.  Images stacked and calibrated in Astropixel Processor and processed in Pixinsight.

From Wiki:
The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 millionlight-years away[5] in the constellationLeo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxiesM65M66, and NGC 3628.
