Hey Remus you took this from your balcony again? I think you have pushed astrophotography in SG to a new height [smilie=cute.gif]

Thanks guys! Thought the above image does not do justice enough to see each of them clearly...here are some full-resolution close-ups... still a bit short on exposures though!...

M65 and M66

NGC3628

Beautiful spiral arms! Reminds me watching of Prof Brian Cox saying "trillion, trillion .... trillion, trillion, trillion ......trillion...."

Great images Remus. Well done!
I do like wide field images when you get all 3 galaxies in the same field.

Go well!
