NGC 3628



Optics: CPC1100 at f6.3 (Taurus reducer) on a Milburn Wedge
Camera: QHY8
Image scale: 0.89 arcsec/pixel, reduced to 50% for presentation
Exposure: 16 x 15 minutes
Guiding: PHD Guiding, using a DSI II Pro on a Taurus Tracker III off axis guider. Dithering performed with Nebulosity 2.
Date: February 23, 2011
Processing: Stacked with Deep Sky Stacker, post-processed with Photoshop CS2.

This imaging sequence was managed with Sequence Generator, which controls Nebulosity and PHD. There was some very slight trailing in right ascension, which doesn't really show at this scale. This galaxy forms a group with M65 and M66, which are known as the Leo Trio.
