Description (from wikipedia)Messier 65 (also known as
NGC 3623) is an
intermediate spiral galaxy about 35 million
light-years away in the
constellationLeo, within its highly
equatorial southern half. It was discovered by
Charles Messier in 1780. With
M66 and
NGC 3628, it forms the
Leo Triplet, a small close
group of galaxies.
Messier 66 or
M66, also known as
NGC 3627, is an
intermediate spiral galaxy in the southern,
equatorial half of
Leo. It was discovered by French astronomer
Charles Messier[8] on 1 March 1780, who described it as "very long and very faint".
[9] This galaxy is a member of a small group of galaxies that includes
M65 and
NGC 3628, known as the
Leo Triplet or the M66 Group.
[10] M65 and M66 are a common object for
amateur astronomic observation, being separated by only 20
′.
[9]NGC 3628, also known as
the Hamburger Galaxy[3] or
Sarah's Galaxy,
[4][5][6][7][8] is an
unbarred spiral galaxy about 35 million
light-years away in the
constellationLeo. It was discovered by
William Herschel in 1784. It has an approximately 300,000 light-years long
tidal tail. Along with
M65 and
M66, NGC 3628 forms the
Leo Triplet, a small
group of galaxies. Its most conspicuous feature is the broad and obscuring band of dust located along the outer edge of its spiral arms, effectively transecting the galaxy to the view from Earth.
Personal noteFirst ligt with my new ASI2600 camera. Super excited about the results!
