| M104 |
The photo below is of the Sombrero galaxy, also known by the designations M104 or NGC4594. This
galaxy is located ~29MLyr away in Virgo. It may be part of the Virgo cluster (not definitively established).
This (10' X 7' FOV; 0.9"/pix) photo, consisting of 5hr of combined 5min lum exposures, was made using
the H-9 (binned 2X2) on the Mewlon at native focal length in 2009. The seeing was decent one night,
and poor the second night while exposures were taken, so detail is less than desired.
