Description

First attempt to this well-known and beautiful target.

I find NGC 3628 aka "the Hamburger galaxy," an even more stunning and fascinating galaxy than the other two.

The field covers about 2 million light-years at the trio's estimated distance of 30 million light-years.

Comments welcome
