The Leo Triplet: Above: "The Hamburger Galaxy" NGC 3628 Lower Left: M 66 Lower Right: M 65 About 35 million light years away. #astrophotography #seestar #ngc3628 #m65 #m66
The #m65 fishtail #parka has to be one of the greatest coats ever made. I don’t mean the less substantial m65 field jacket, and I definitely don’t mean the H&M quality level copies (in Finnish, #maihinnousutakki). The original. Roomy, warm (designed for frigid Korean War conditions), versatile (can be worn with or without the warm liner, or the huge hood, which also has a removable liner), very wind resistant (can even be attached round your legs). Think of the ubiquitous N3B but longer.
Going to do a comparison between the s50 and Odyssey Pro once here are #M65 / #M66 / #NGC3628 #Galaxies - aka #TheLeoTriplet. First and third images are from the s50, while the second and forth are from the Odyssey Pro. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #S50
