Description

Fighting clouds as ngc3628 races west. This is 10 hours RGB + 11 hours luminance using the 8" F/5 from Bortle 7 skies in Texas. Just starting to glimpse the numerous faint companions and remnants from long-ago collisions with other galaxies. The very faint little tail running off on the bottom right barely shows. NGC3628 is the fainter member of the wonderful Triplet grouping of Leo galaxies including M65 & M66.
