The Leo Triplet
This is the Leo Triplet, M65, M66, and NGC 3628, aka the Hamburger Galaxy. Shot in Blue Mound State Park over two nights, about 3 hours of integration time biased toward the luminance channel. First night was during -- actually after -- a star party with LJ, Libby, Ana, Stan, and the Finn. Second was solo. SV70t-IS scope, ASI183MM camera. All kinds of technical problems kept me up till about 4 both nights and gave me fits in processing, but I'm reasonably happy with the result.
