Description

The famous Leo triplet is situated  35 million l.y. away, in the same constellation. It includes the delicious Hamburger galaxy (which is frequently the object of culinary remarks made by tired astrophotographers), M65 and M66. I think the Hamburger is the more famous one, but the details in the other two galaxies are fascinating.
