The spectacular edge on Galaxy M104. Not sure what is more special. The Galaxy itself, the surrounding sky, or the fact that Vesto Slipher calculated in 1912 that it is moving away from us at 1000 Klms per second. This 81' x 54' field of view shows it against the background of a magnificent jet black dark australian sky.
