Description

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 NGC3628

This was a very short session while testing something with my rig and waiting for other object to be high enough. Decided to stack and saw there’s a potential in it. Happy I didn’t throw it away. We’re in the middle of the galaxy season, 1 more checked off. I’m planning to spend a fair amount of time on this next season for sure.
