Description

When I went out tonight I had no idea what I was going to image. I looked around a little and

noticed the constellation Corvus. It's been a year since I imaged M104 so I decided that I would

image it. The sky was not perfect tonight. Like last night there were high thin clouds scattered

around. However where I was imaging the clouds didn't cause much of a problem.

Moisture on the other hand did cause problems. Where M104 was located is the heaviest light

pollution in my sky. There is a Federal Prison and a Plywood Factory in that direction. I

had light gradients to deal with and the color was skewed. However I did get an image

and I'm satisfied with it. M104 has always been a favorite Deep Sky object of mine both in an

eye piece and in an image. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of M104.
