This photo consists of 45 3 min. (135 min. total) exposures taken on Mar. 15 and 18 from a vacant lot in Tucson, AZ. It is a work in progress. I am hoping that more exposure time will reveal more detail in the galaxies. NGC3628 (upper left) is edge-on and is bisected by a dust lane. M65 is a tight spiral galaxy (upper right). M66 is a spiral galaxy (lower right). The galaxies are about 35 million ly from Earth. The image size is about 65x65 arc minutes.
