I like the framing of M104 - not centred and appears at an angle = looks like a distant UFO and gives the image some depth, not bad for just 2 X 7min subs either 
The Musca glob is also one of my favourite globs because of that nice bright blue star next to it and the group of yellow and blue stars nearby.

Mike we'll have to do more subs of Sombrero soon it seemed to come up pretting well with just the two. We appreciate your positive comments

This is the first description of Dunlop 67 = NGC4372 "A star of the 6th magnitude, with a beautiful well-defined milky ray proceeding from it south following; the ray is conical, and the star appears in the point of the cone, and the broad or south following extremity is circular, or rounded off. The ray is about 7' in length, and nearly 2' in breadth at the broadest part, near the southern extremity. With the sweeping power this appears like a star with a very faint milky ray south following, the ray gradually spreading in breadth from the star, and rounded off at the broader end. But with a higher power it is not a star with a ray, but a very faint nebula, and the star is not involved or connected with it: I should call it a very faint, nebula of a long oval shape, the smaller end towards the star; this is easily resolvable into extremely minute points or stars, but I cannot discover the slightest indications of attraction or condensation towards any part of it. I certainly had not the least suspicion of this object being resolvable when I discovered it with the sweeping power, nor even when I examined it a second time; it is a beautiful object, of a uniform faint light." James Dunlop, Parramatta, 1826 |
Glen we would agree with you on this lovely glob it seems dimmer than first described by Dunlop.
