Hello all!!

Finally the clouds parted and I managed to get the scope out and image. It feels such a long time since I last imaged...

M104, also known as the Sombrero Galaxy ....is this where I say " com out little grazhoppa, we wont hurt you?"... was the target for the night. I was very excited to see the fainter galaxy at about 5 o'clock but I think I need more than 3 hours of data from my backyard here in Brisbane. I've also included my last two attempts at imaging M104 for reference sake.

Details are as follows...

FL: 1624mm, f/8
