M104 - The Sombrero Galaxy with just luminance data
M104 - The Sombrero Galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the Virgo constellation.
This galaxy was taken with a Takahashi FS-128 mm refractor with a QSI 583 camera. Unfortunately I got mixed up with my RGB and was left with two sets of G data but no B data! So here's my Sombrero using just the luminance. Sorry, yet another work-in-progress!
As the galaxy's apparent size is rather small with my telescope, I gave it severe, 100% cropping.
9x6min for Luminance using Astrodon filters.
Mount: Astro-Physics 1100gto
Location: LMDSS, Heathcote, Victoria, Australia
Camera: QSI583
Camera cooling: -30c
