NGC3628 and Friends

[Comet Hunter]

So its been 2 months or so since I last imaged. Between heavy pollen, weather, moon pollution or just bad timing.

I had to update Pixinsight and relearn the whole process. (almost)

This trio of galaxies, (only 35 million light years away) was taken in my driveway with my SV 102 Raptor, 533 MC using the Antilia TriBand filter.
Average bortle 5-6 skys. Right at 10 hours with 5 min subs.

* I actually posted the wrong revision, my bad.. Here is the final correct one. Not quite as blown out as the 1st

Very pleasing level of detail in this image. Only 35M light years away? That would make a nice weekend drive for some closeups

Hey Ed!

I was wondering how you were doing and about to write you. I am glad you got some more imaging in. This is a really fun grouping to do and you got some really impressive detail. I think @Mike Lewis said he was working on this area as well. Though I don't think he will be ready to post anything for another month or so.

Nice! Fell you with the lack of imaging opportunities. Shame the Leo Triplet is a southerly target. I can only shoot northerly ones unless they are pretty high in the sky as my house it in the way. Seriously limits what I can shoot.

Yours have great detail

Very nice capture! You got some great detail in the galaxies.
