Leo Triplet

Posted on Sun 26 March 2023 in astro

This is an image of a Triplet of Galaxies found in the constallation Leo. They are interating with eacother making for an interesting sight. They are about 30 million light years from earth. Check out the [BBC Sky at Night Magazine] for some fascinating information on these objects. I took this image one night in February. There is only about 2 hours of data, so it's lacking details. I plan on revisiting this target sometime next year.

Check out my post on the Rosette Nebula for an equipment list used.
