These 3 galaxies float together in the constellation Leo and are known as M65, M66 and NGC 3628. They are fairly bright (for galaxies) and showed up surprisingly well considering I only used my 80mm telescope to capture them. I exposed for a total of 30 minutes composed of 60 30 second sub exposures. They have magnitudes from 9.4 to 10.3 and I could not see them visually. These now have my distance record since they all lie around 34 million years away.
The post processing was a bit of a challenge and I could not really get a flat black in the background. The “noise” in the background was just too close to the signal in the galaxies. I was able to get to a happy balance between background noise and galaxy brightness/resolution.
