M104 pointer
M104 is a fine one to be sure especially if you can make out the east-west dust lane and enough halo. There is an interesting arrow that points right towards M104 that is 1/3 degree (20min) to the west of M104 and for a bit of fun I like to look for that nice pattern that is about as long as M104 itself but of course is in our own galaxy as if to say 'Here it is, M104 is that way'. M104 I bet looks much better down from -30 degree locations than from up at 36 deg north where I am located.
Looking at distant galaxies never gets old it seems. Can't get enough. Thanks for the fun report.
