I made an attempt at m104 on Saturday night but the seeing was soo bad (round stars but guiding consistently around 1”) I just couldn’t do it justice. Last night was a different story- with good guiding around 0.4-0.5 all night. The detail just popped and who knew there were so many tiny fuzzies in the background!
Refocused half way through but the re-framing was off so had to do a crop. Attached is the small cropped and rotated version.
