M66 (top left), M65 (lower left), Hamburger galaxy NGC3628 (right). Pics were taken in May and processed in June. It was encouraging to see how using Ha data enriched the result. These galaxies are a long way away, 37 million light years. So, I am pretty happy with this pic.

ASI585MC Pro g200, AskarV@600f7.5, 39 10min pics (11.5 hours) exposure,
+darks/biases/flats + Ha 24 10min pics (4 hours) exposure
AM5/ASIair+, EAF, Askar OAG with ASI174mini for guiding

PixInsight 100%.

Combining the Ha data with the OSC data makes the colors richer and shows the detail better.
