Description

Hello, everyone

Actually I should have slept 🙂 My first picture of the galaxy. As you all know, these are Messier 66 and Messier 65. If you look closely, you can see the outline of NGC 2734 in the lower left corner.
Actually, I would have wished for at least 3 hours exposure time. Due to initial guiding problems and the final moonrise, I was only able to use an exposure time of 48 minutes.
