NGC 4631, NGC4627 and NGC 4656/57 (Whale and Hockey Stick Galaxies)

[GalaxyGael]

Although I 'started' galaxy season a bit early to get some of the UMa galaxies all night without a meridian flip (and too low in the sky early on in the night), this one is the first of them for me this year in a better (higher) position in the sky.

Never imaged these before.
