Tonight I imaged three galaxies at a time! The spiral galaxy M65, the “Hamburger Galaxy” NGC3628 and another spiral galaxy M66. All those objects are located in the constellation Leo. The picture is also available in full resolution here. For stacking I used DeepSkyStacker 3.3.2 with Kappa-Sigma Clipping.
