On tuesday morning this week it was o.k seeing and hadn't seen a galaxy live before .While searching the internet found a way to starhop to M104.
Star hoping to M104 was easy as there three fairly bright stars pointing at the spiral galaxy.
When in view it looked like a globular cluster but when using averted vision i clearly saw the arms and bright cental core but no dust lane in my 130mm diameter newtonian.I was so excited
to see my first galaxy and it was Fantastic
.By the way if your wondering i chose M104 because so many people say that its one of there favourites.
I also did a sketch to show how i saw it in the eyepiece.15mm 60x mag
