M104

[astro mick]

Its a cracking Galaxy M104,but i dont usually image it due to its low position,and often caught in the sky glow.

This is an LRGB image taken with my ED102mm scope.

The Lum was for 2hrs in 450 sec subs, and the RGB was 1hr each in 300 secs each.Fully calibrated,and processed in Photo-shop.

The image was taken last night/early hrs this morning.

Cheers.

Mick.

Nice, better than my effort but you have a lot more exposure time.

Looks upside down though

I love M104. It’s just so low. You’ve done a really good job Mick.
