What do you mean \u201cuninteresting\u201d!?\n\n\n\n

This is M65, a spiral galaxy roughly 35 million lightyears from Earth which I haven\u2019t seen frequently imaged in detail. I found it beguiling and went after it with my largest telescope in the spring as part of a forthcoming 4 panel mosaic of the Leo Triplet.\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s notable about this galaxy is that it is low on available star forming gas and dust, and as a result has very limited active star formation. This leads it to be labeled \u201cquite uninteresting\u201d on its Wikipedia entry. I couldn\u2019t disagree more! The colors are muted, but the structure is amazing and I felt it was well worth my effort to bring out some of the details to share with you.\n\n\n\n

What do you think?\n\n\n\n
