Beautiful! The Triffid was one of the first objects I observed with my first serious telescope, a 6” maksutov. The skies around here were a lot darker back then…

Looking forward to more jaw-dropping photos from the Vera Rubin Observatory!

Yes, I could see it with my Questar (3.5” Mak).

I notice that the two spiral galaxies are opposite of each other, one spinning CW the other CCW from our perspective.................
