  1. The Leo Triplet is a small group of three galaxies gravitationally bond in a dance about 35 million light-years away, in the constellation Leo. This group consists of the spiral galaxies M65, M66, and NGC 3628.

    I have gathered about seven and a half hour of data from my balcony near Paris using a 840mm focal length refractor type telescope and a monochrome cooled camera. Processing was done in specialized software Pinxinsight and Adobe Lightroom.

  2. I’m not looking forward to when those things merge. It’ll cook the entire cosmic neighborhood.

    This is an amazing photo sir. You deserve a beautiful Parisian day.
