M65 and M66

My goal was to see the supernova in M100, but the background sky was too bright. I could not even see the galaxy, so I decided to look for brighter galaxies. The Leo triplet contains two bright Messier galaxies, M65 right and M66 left. This is a wery beautiful pair of galaxies and they both fitted nicely to the field of my Nagler.
