Description

An unexpected clear night presented itself on the 16/03/21 and better still there was hardly any moon.

This was captured from outside of my observatory on my second rig.

I am still amazed at the results from the Altair OSC 26C, it just makes imaging an absolute pleasure.

As usual just a small amount of Bumf: -

The Leo Triplet (also known as the M66 Group) is a small group of galaxies about 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628.
