M95, M96, And M105 Group

This is the last target from March 12th at Tiger Mountain (actually the first one shot). It suffered from some focus shift, so I had to do some star size reduction. You sharp-eyed critics (bless you all) will notice some remaining halos from that effort. None of the galaxies in this group is terribly photogenic, but together they are nice, and M95 & M96 show their bars well.

Thanks in advance for all comments!

Don, I can see you are on a roll!
Great shot!


Keep it up!

Very nice widefield image Don. These galaxies would be more photogenic for you and I if we had more focal length.

Don,
That's a great wide (make that very wide) shot. You really are making the most of your scope/camera combo. Personally, I can stare into these clusters all day.
Thanks for sharing,
Larry
