Hamburger NGC3628

[cometcatcher]

NGC3628 The Hamburger galaxy, the one Messier missed. Part of the Leo triplet, 35 million light yeas away.
I have minimal data for this one so the tidal tail doesn't show well and it's noisy, but I like it as it is. Just pretend it was taken on ISO 3200 film. :P

Thanks Mike. The difference is probably from the cooled dedicated astro camera. DSLR's get very noisy here in the tropics. Cooling is very important.

I like this one. Very well balanced colour, and I don't think the noise you drew attention to is invasive.:thumbsup:
