Description

NGC 3628 aka the Hamburger galaxy.
This galaxy has a very faint tail caused by the gravitational interaction with the neighbors.
On this image the galaxy tail as well as IFN is visible.

This image was captured over 7 sessions.
4 sessions RGB - 100x600sec
3 sessions Mono - 95x600sec
The total exposure time captured is 32 hours.
The RGB data was combined with the Mono with LRGB combination after processed separately.
The IFN and the tail was visible faintly on both stacked images but the LRGB combination improved it to a point that allowed to pull it out this far.
