Description

The Sombrero Galaxy remains very low in the sky from my location, peaking at just 37 degrees of altitude.  I couldn't help but image it anyway, and have had few clear nights as of late.  I managed about 4 hours of lights, but had to throw away about half of them due to wind, so I only ended up with about 2 hours of data. Luckily all of the imaging was done before the moon rose so the data that I could keep was pretty good.  I do intend to add more when the weather clears.  Acquired with NINA, stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and processed in Pixinsight.
