This is a 12 hour LRGB I was able to finish last night in New Mexico after the
moon set. The top three galaxies are M105, NGC 3384 above it and NGC 3389 to
the left. M105 is a giant elliptical galaxy which is 35,000 light years across
and it has a supermassive central black hole of about 50 million solar masses.
It's distance from earth is about 32 million light years. The two beautiful
spiral galaxies toward the bottom are M96 and M95, left to right. This is
cropped by about a third.
