Description

Messier 104 - Sombrero Galaxy

Is an edge on spiral galaxy in Virgo, approximately 31100000 ly away and has a diameter of around 50,000 ly.

This galaxy thwarted me 2 years ago and I only ever got a very poor image of it. This time I got 3 nights of data although the seeing was not its best and I had hoped for more detail, I'm still relatively pleased with the result.
