M104 Sombrero Galaxy.

  Sweet as a  Nut this.              

 A Pearl surrounded by Diamonds, it is a lovely sight.  Cracking entry Nigel.

Great image. It has a simplicity about it which I love - different from some other images, which really pop out at you. The subtle beauty reminds us how small we are. Fantastic entry.
