I had a look at M104 Sombrero last night in less than brilliant conditions - lots of Ocean spray blowing up from the beach. Funny thing was I went looking for it star hopping via the 10 inch dob and couldn't nail it - eventually got the ****s and pulled out the SE8 and aligned it - hit it first time - couldn't see much more than a central brightness and the obscuring dust lane - It is transiting at about 10:15 in sydney at the moment so it's well worth a look given we are at new moon. I think I've seen a number of discussion threads on here describing a start hop out to M104. It's well worth a visit if your looking for a DSO to have a look at at this time of year
