Description

Imaging this from a dark sky location helped bring out the details in the tidal tail of NGC 3628. Dark skies also meant nearby bright stars 73 Leonis and HD98354 create gradients in the image which needed to be carefully processed to minimise, but not removed, to present this as a natural scene.
