First I've heard of M104 having a tidal stream, learn something every day.

Nice one Mike.
My original plan had been to do several days on this field with the hope that these faint features, I knew to be there, would be visible in a more normally processed colour shot ala my deep Cen A...buuuut the intermitent cloud plus a few new-camera system teathing issues on the first two nights made me re think this project and resulted in me losing patience sooooo 3.5 hours lum was all I bothered with. With an observatory though, or at least another dream run like the three perfect nights in a row for my Cen A from Wiruna, well!!! things could have been different

Still pretty cool though huh?

Mike
