Galaxies in Leo

Galaxies in Leo are now heading to the western horizon. The weather finally broke enough to get a few shots of this interesting grouping, NGC3187 and other small galaxies in Leo.

Thanx! Nice combo: "stressed" 3187, neighboring rat-tails, and a ring... Gota love galaxies for their infinitely eclectic morphologies. It's a BIG universe, even one little corner. Tom

Nice pic. Love the little galaxies scattered about everywhere. All three / four
of the main galaxies are very interesting visually with lots of detail. What is
the 'streaky' sky about? No flats I am assuming.

Whoa! Gorgeous! Was the scope used the specific one on display at NEAF?
