Messier 104 - "The Sombrero Galaxy" - is one of my
favorite galaxies. Really skilled astrophotographers have taken
some stunning images of this galaxy (I am not one of those photographers
and this is not one of those images). The nearly edge-on spiral
galaxy with its prominent dust lane makes this an amazing galaxy to see.
This galaxy lies 29 million light years away and is located in the
constellation of Virgo. - ISO 800 - F10 - 90 second exposures (x 29); 43 minutes 30 seconds total - Unfiltered - Direct images through the 8-inch LX200GPS - Unguided - Location: Palomar Mountain 03.27.2009 |
