Messier 65 (NGC 3623) is a spiral galaxy in Leo, located at about 35 millions of light years, part of the so-called "Leo's Triplet" (with M66 and NGC 3628 ). It was by C. Messier on March 1, 1780. Here, it was imaged with the PW17 unit, part of the Virtual Telescope Project. A total of 14 exposures, with 5 minutes of integration each, were averaged. Images were unguided, completely trusting the Paramount ME mount. The CCD camera is a SBIG STL-6303E. The image scale is of 0.78 "/pixel. Image by Gianluca Masi and Gisella Luccone
