a few months ago it was M83. Now its M104. I've never really had a good chance at a long focal length shot of M104 before. But I'm very happy with the start I'm getting.
Taken 3/6/11 under marginal skies. Total exposure 125min. SXVF-H9, no filters, VC200L. The first image is full frame resized and the second is full size center crop. And I know I hacked the stars
