Galaxy NGC 3628
A truly amazing sight. I am always in awe when I look up at the sky.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most moving events in my life was looking up and seeing Sputnik as it traversed the sky.
That is an amazing sight Sean

It's quite a view, Sean. Some day I would like to get a telescope, but in the meantime I'm happy to just look up as often as possible!
