Description

The Leo Triplet - M65, M66 & NGC 3628

Really happy about this one as it is the first cooperation with an old friend, Gerhard Molinaro . Back in 2013 Gerhard managed to capture 5 hours excellent RGB Data of M65 & M66, imaged from his Home Observatory in Wagna/Austria (Hobby-Sternwarte Wagna).

My part was the image processing, and I decided to extend the whole scene to show the complete Leo Triplet, using additional Data from the POSS-II Sky Survey.
