Description

Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC 3628) with some Tidal Tail.

A spring target that I have been trying for a few years to capture, the Leo Triplet. Always like wild field galaxy clusters. Puts everything in perspective. I managed to capture some of the faint tidal tail on NGC3628. 

Shot on a ZWO ASI 2600 MC DUO and TS Optics 90 CF APO refractor telescope. Guided using a Skywatcher Eq6R Pro. 

136x300" exposures. Shot on 04/3/24 in Bortle 5 skies and 04/04/2024 in Bortle 2 skies. 

Thanks for looking!
