Description



Since I have had no time nor good weather for taking new images, I've found this one that was originally discarded for the little star drift due to wind gusts. Anyway I re-think myself about and I decided it was not too bad so I go for and this is the results:

M104 sombrero galaxy taken during last year Winter Star Party with an Officina StellareRiLA 16" f3.8 on a Paramount ME using a FLI Microline 11002 with FLI filterwheel and Astrodon genII LRGB Filters. Guided Via a Sbig STV on a MiniBorg refractor. I've also managed to include more data from an old image set of this subject taken witha Vixen RSS200 f4 telescope. This is the central crop 1:1 res. Even with the slight drift the details on the galaxy disc are still quite remarkable. Exposure time is about 120:60:60:60

Thanks for stopping by...
