Description

M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, is located in the constellation Virgo. It is difficult to image from high latitudes because it sits low in the sky. It is an 'unbarred' spiral galaxy. It's unique shape is due to the 'edge on' view we have on it from the Milky Way. It is easily visible in smallish amateur scopes, making it a popular target.
