This thread just inspired me to get out and try for the Sombrero Galaxy. I had never seen a galaxy through my scope (12" LightBridge) before. Until tonight. Sombrero Galaxy located after a few minutes of scanning and changing eyepieces. I have fairly light polluted skies and a SERIOUSLY annoying street light shining right down my driveway but still managed to see it. Was very faint. Highlights of tonight's session. Sombrero Galaxy, Saturn and the Jewel Box. Awesome! Cons of tonight. Mosquitoes!
