Hello 

This maybe the last photo taken with my 450d. Now has usb connection issues. I have had good use of it though for the past 3years The Sombrero galaxy heavily cropped (cropped) taken last week.  Had to stack ir mosaic form as i nudged the camera and didnt realise!.  

Telescope - 102mm APO ES refractor on a AVX mount

Camera- Canon 450d unmoded iso800 with a Astronomik CLS filter. 

Duration 150minutes   - 300s lights., Darks, flats and bias frames also taken

Guided with PHD2 and processed in PS

Of course improvement advice much appreciated  

Thanks for looking 

Dean

The Sombraro shape is clearly punching through... nice one....

Cheers. Will try this with 750d hopefully will be better image compared to 450d?

Easily recognisable, a classic galaxy in my eyes! Well done.

Ideal target last week, new moon neighbours away! Will try again next year  with a new camera, and  yes its one of my favorites
