M105 (NGC 3379) is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Leo. At magnitude 9.3 it cannot be seen by naked eye. See location below.
M105 is the elliptical galaxy in the center of the photo and is part of the Leo I or M96 group of galaxies.
North (toward Polaris) is up in the photo. The picture was taken with a fully modified Canon Rebel camera (this is my one shot color camera) on a TEC 140 telescope in the Alpenglow-Torrey House Observatory in the dark sky community of Torrey, Utah (Bortle 2-3). The ten best of 14 120-second sub-frames were used and stacked in Deep Sky Stacker = twenty minute photo. Unguided, binned 2X2 in SkyX (to make smaller files for remote transfer), no calibration frames. Processed in Photoshop (CS5).
