Description

Captured this from my driveway in not so great skies, just a lot of haziness around, probably should of gave up but I think it came out okay considering. One of the famous Leo triplet at about 35 million light years away. Wasn't able to resolve the tidal tail with this amount of integration, maybe if I get another crack at it this spring I'll try to capture another 4 or 5 hours, of course it may take darker skies than I have at my home and more integration time to get it. NGC3628 is seen edge on with an apparent dimensions of 14.0' x 3.6'.
