Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people

NGC3623 aka M66 along with M65

First night out in quite awhile, this image was taken thru my Orion 80ED on my Losmandy GM8.  My intention was to image M66 (upper spiral) but with such a wide field I also caught M65.  This is only a raw 23 min image, first since last fall.

Finally

Some one gets out and do some Imaging
Nice

Looks real good Gene. Nice

Looks real good Gene.
Nice to see some action on this page after so long.
Now you have to image the other 108 of the Messier objects that are not captured in this picture.
It is Messier Marathon time you know.
