Good one Wilco

M104 is an ambitious target for an 80mm scope!

Best time to capture a small feint galaxy is when it is very high in the sky.

Above 45 degrees altitude is a good start.

This reduces the influence of the atmosphere.

Also no or little moon and exposure time as long as you can manage.

Dedicated and cooled camera also helps a lot with noise.


Well done.
