Description

In this, the other Leo Triplet, we have 3 types of galaxies: from the elliptical M105, through the lenticular NGC 3384, to NGC 3389 with its blue arms suggesting the presence of many young stars. NGC 3389 is about twice the distance from us as its visual neighbors (about 60 ly).  Photographed in short sessions in December/January,. I framed it with an eye on the field of brighter stars on the right.
