Here is a very enjoyable star hop. From Corvus to the Sombrero galaxy.

jjjnettie has previously given us this link that takes you step by step:-

Probably you have to wait until around midnight this time of year when Corvus and Virgo have some elevation - and another couple of weeks for that Moon to slip away. I've attached two screen shots showing how I get there.

Enjoy the trip!
