This is 'The Sombrero' isn't it ?

I remember what a beautiful object it was through the eyepiece when i first observed it last year.

One of my favourite galaxys so far.

 

Excellent capture Kev ??

Yes, Rob - it's the Sombrero in Virgo.

 

This has always been one of my all-time favourites even before I started imaging.

 

I wouldn't be lying if I said after seeing Hubble/NASA APODs, it's what sparked my interest in imaging in the first place.

 

Sadly accruing more data could take a while, as it's in the worst part of the sky for me (rapidly disappearing behind neighbor's roofs and light pollution, among other things).

 

All part of the fun, though! ?
