Nice framing Carl :)

Every time I look at NGC 3628 I wonder what is pulling the outer arms over like that. There is no object visible in that direction of the pull. The other two in the trio are in the opposite direction. :shrug:

Mysterious.

But a lovely image :thumbsup:

Very cool! Cores are a bit burnt out, but good image none the less.:thumbsup:
