Description

Messier 65 and 66, two beautiful spiral galaxies mostly known because they, with NGC3628 (not in this image) form the famous Leo triplet. We called this image the "Leo doublet", because our RC8 and it's long focal length only allowed us to frame 2 galaxies. We are very proud of this one.
