Description

As I contend with the very real possibility that I won't shoot again until May (in fact, May 2022 was the last time I was at a dark site) at the earliest, I am once again delving into Telescope Live.  Gotta keep those processing skills sharp! This is their data on the Sombrero Galaxy. I have been sitting on it for awhile but have never done anything with it until now.

I am currently hoping and praying for the privilege to spend a few nights out in -30c clear skies to do something with Orion again!

As for the galaxy itself, I have to say its one of my favourites. It really is an oddball. An elliptical with a dust lane? Whats up with that?
