Last night I shot The Leo Triplet. 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.
Can this get 10k? That’d be pretty sweet.
My observing log from April 18, 1998, describes my first view of NGC 3628:
long, uniform faint patch, easy with averted vision, larger than M65 and M66 (which were visible in the same field), but much more subtle, making for a lovely contrast
I should get my telescope out again.
