Galaxies in Leo

Shot on February 4, 2011. Roughly 43 minutes of total exposure, ISO 800. and as always, a lot of light noise to cope with.  That's M66 on the lower left, M65 on the lower right, and NGC 3628 at top, one of my favorite galaxies, due to the irregular shape and huge swath of dark dust.

I have a more recent set of exposures of these three, usually called the "Leo Triplets", so I'll post pictures of the individual galaxies later.
