Messier 65,66 and a bunch of asteroids.

Two close spiral galaxies in Leo, Messier 65 and 66. 31 and 35 million light years distant in LRGB. I couldn't fit the Hamburger in.

Skywacher 300PDS 12" F5 Newtonian, modified NEQ6 Pro belt mod+ bearings and backlash, ZWO ASI 183mm Pro at -10C, Svbony LRGB filter set, about 3 hours in total. A little on the short side due to cloud so it was a rush job.

But wait, there's more. If you order today you get 5 free steak kni.... I mean asteroids! Stacked with Maximum setting in DSS to reveal the asteroid trails, their numbers on them, thanks to a FB friend, Tom Polakis.

South is up in the colour image but was rotated so north is up for the asteroid reveal. Sorry aboot that. I'll standardise one day, I once said never!
