Description

Clockwise from right are galaxies NGC3628, M65, and M66 making up the galaxy group know as the Leo Triplet.  These galaxies are located approximately 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo.   This was shot over 4 nights under Bortle 6 conditions in my suburban backyard using a ZWO ASI2600MC Pro through a Zeiss APQ130 with an IDAS NBZ filter and an APM Riccardi Flattener.
