Description

This is an initial attempt to get a shot of the famous triplet. I used a fairly short focal length (400mm with an APS-C sensor), hoping to capture the tidal tail which streams away from NGC 3628 as well as the three galaxies. But there is no sign of it. I'm going to have to try harder!
