M65 = NGC3623 (11h 18.9m +13°05´, 9.3 mag. )
This spiral galaxy in Leo was discovered by Mechain 1780 together with M66 nearby. They were missed by Messier, even though his comet of 1773 "grazed" them on Nov. 2, 1773.

M65 Jacket
The M-1965 Field Jacket, also known as the M65, is a popular field jacket designed for the US military.
M65 (NGC 3623) and M66 (NGC 3627) make a splendid pair of spiral galaxies in the same field, between theta Leonis and iota Leonis.
One of its members is M65. This is a spiral galaxy located about 35 million light-years from us. It has an obvious elliptical shape, due to the fact that we are viewing it from an angle. The galaxy's magnitude of 9.

The galaxy forms, together with its neighbors M65 and NGC 3628, the "Leo Triplet;" they are located at a distance of about 35 million light-years.

The second-brightest star (Beta Leo) is Denebola (meaning "tail of the lion"), and the third-brightest star (Gamma 1 Leo) is Algieba (meaning "forehead"). The spiral galaxies M65, M66, M95, M96, and the elliptical galaxy M105 are nearby.
The three galaxies M65, M66 and NGC 3628 form a conspicuous triple.
The other two Messier objects, M95 and M96 are two fainter spiral galaxies. For more information and observing hints please follow the links to the Messier database.
The following objects are located within Our Supercluster but not within the Local Group; they are objects 100,000,000 light-years to 10,000,000 light-years from the Sun: M49, M51, M58, M59, M60, M61, M63, M64, M65, M66.
