Description

The Sombrero doesn't get very high from my locale and I managed to image it at it's highest elevation of the year (43 degrees). The month of April didn't have many clear nights but luckily got 2 nights in a row at the end of the month with no moon. It's been a couple of years since imaging M104, this time - different scope, filter and sub exposure time. Had to mask and crush the background to get rid of a gradient/artifacts I couldn't mitigate.

Photographed 4/29, 4/30
