astroenthusiast 279 Posted April 13, 2021 It is that time of year again, galaxy season! The Sombrero galaxy also designated Messier 104, located at the southern edge of the Virgo constellation and Corvus, a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. M104 lies at 28 million light years from Earth and boast 800 billion suns. The Sombrero galaxy is easily seen through small telescopes and has a bright magnitude of 8. The image of Messier 104 was captured using 46 sub-frames at 60 second exposure each, using a Baader - Moon & Sky glow filter. 1 Link to comment
