Sombrero Galaxy

SPX350 F4.53, ATK-16HR, Astrodon filters.

LRGB
L=22x5m
GB=6x5m
R=10x5m

This was taken back in June and looking at StrongmanMike's image was amazed at the number of globular clusters surrounding this galaxy down to 21st mag he found with his SF152 which I got too. This has to be the best dust lane galaxy around.

Thanks for looking.
