Description

Captured over two nights after M104 was lost behind an oak tree with less overall integration time but a still a pleasing result.

A nice high target without much to worry about except the lack of a coma corrector for my 130PDS (still on order) warping the edges of the frame but I didn't want to remove the nicely resolved neighbouring galaxies in the final composition.

Shot with a 130PDS at 650mm with an astro modified Canon 400D and CLS filter in Bortle 5 garden. Another target I would like to revisit in the future with more focal length, more integration time and a cooled mono camera!
