Description

This is my first complete image with my new Qhy268m monochrome astronomy camera, also my first time imaging the Leo triplet galaxies. The Leo Triplet is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
