Sombrero Galaxy - Farewell to my Atik 383

[lukebl]

Hi all,

I haven't done any DSO imaging for a year or two and, as I mentioned in another thread, I realise that CCD cameras have now gone the way of Box Brownies, Betamax videos and CDs and have had their day.

So this is probably the last image to be captured with my old Atik383L+, before I take delivery of a new CMOS camera (not sure which one yet). My favourite, M104 the Sombrero galaxy, captured in a narrow time window as it passed low between two buildings from my garden obs.

250mm f/4.8 Newtonian, Atik 383L+, Baader Coma Corrector, 60 x 60s exposures + RGB 30s x 10 exposures each, binned 2x. Not perfect, but I'm a bit rusty!
