The Leo Triplet
===========

The Leo Triplet - one of the spring sky's most iconic galaxy groups, some 35 million light-years away in Leo.

M65 with well-defined spiral arms and a bright core. M66, the brightest member, showing asymmetric arms distorted by billions of years of gravitational interaction.

Here is what came out of the observation of #NGC3628 #TheHamburgerGalaxy. At the bottom right you can make out #M65 and to the bottom of the image #M66. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur

The moon is almost full so it seems the moonlight affected the observation of #M66 / #M65 #Galaxies. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
