M65

Is described here in Wikipedia.

It is an spiral galaxy about 35 million light years away and is one of the Leo Triplet galaxies. These galaxies are gravitationally bound and are interacting with each other similarly to the way that our own galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy do.

I imaged it with the 16" Meade and SBIG ST-2000XCM one shot colour CCD camera. 4 frames of 15 minutes exposure were captured using CCDOPS software. This was also used to calibrate the light frames and to stack them into a final image which I then further processed in Photoshop CS3.
