Description

The Sombrero Galaxy, M104, photographed over two nights in early March 2021. High altitude smoke and dust coupled with nearby trees and light pollution resulted in the rejection of many subs, especially luminance. Of nearly 12 hours of data collected, only about 6.4 hours of the best data were retained. In minutes, LRGB=27:160:118:78; using an Atik 16200 mono camera with Astronomik filters at -20C, mounted on a Skywatcher Esprit 150. Luminance subs were 90s, RGB was 120s.
