M104 - Sombrero Local Group

[PKay]

It might appear to be a poor attempt, but we have to start somewhere.

However for my tiny 85mm scope (and this image has been heavily cropped) I think I can see 6 more spiral galaxies in the surrounds.

So, being a beginner and totally naive, and for my own purposes named them!

The 'Sombrero Local Group'. :)

You’ve done well to get a crisp disk on the Sombrero, Peter :thumbsup:

I've never tried the Sombrero myself but it doesn't look like it is an easy one to do even with the higher end equipment.

There's at least 6 other GX's you didn't circle :)

Hi Lewis

Go for it but use another colour.

We can rename it the 'Sombrero IIS local group' :)

[PKay]

thanks BJ

You know how to see such things...I can't make out the 'dark band'.

If you can be bothered throw in a few circles!

Nice one Peter.

[janoskiss]

I take my somprero off to you, Peter. :)

[PKay]

Thanks all for the encouragement.

When I get my 'very expensive' scope I might go back there and have another look...
