There are a lot more than three galaxies in that shot.

Thanks for the pic.
Amazing how huge this one little view of a portion of the Universe is. Of course, you wouldn’t expect God to create some puny little lash-up that could be traversed in a measly couple of thousand lightyears, would you?

Psalms 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Psalms 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

I believe this photo has been rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, consequently not matching the description in the blurb.

Some of my favorite objects! Spring Evenings observing aren’t complete without the “Trio in Leo”.
