This one started out as a series of diagnostic images to troubleshoot a camera problem I'm currently having. Given that I haven't imaged the Sombrero for a few years I thought I might as well make a complete colour version. The data is a bit thin and I made my usual mistake of burning the bright centre out more than necessary but at least it looks better than my last one.
Not bad for a diagnostic image Steve ...I agree with Greg, to me M104 looks best sitting like a plate, so we are looking down into the depressed core, either straight horizontal or with a slight tilt.

Thanks Mike. I must admit that the orientation makes little difference to me but I'll think about changing it.
