Spring is officially galaxy season. Here are two groups of galaxies from the constellation Leo captured on two separate nights. In these images you can see billions of stars as each galaxy contains hundreds of millions to billions of stars.

1: The famous Leo triplet. (L to R) NGC3628 aka hamburger galaxy, M65 and M66

2: M95 and M96 on the right of center, M105, NGC3384 and NGC3389 bunched up towards the left bottom corner. NGC3389 is probably the farthest object that I have intentionally captured in a photo - at about 70 million light years away. Only 5 galaxies are annotated here but, there are many faint ones in this view as well.

Both images are short exposures - only about an hour each. Clouds foiled my plans on both nights when I was imaging these.
