Description

On my second outing with a C9.25 equipped with OAG, I zeroed in on the Sombrero Galaxy (M104). This is a DSO I wanted to capture last year, but my instrument was too small. This time, the scope is up to the task. It was windy, though, and seeing was degraded as a result. Still, I photographed its familiar shape. I look forward to trying it again when skies are quieter.
