It'd make a good hat!

This is a quicky I shot last night. Been transitioning to use TheSkyX for everything (mount, focus, dome, camera, guiding, plate solve yada yada ...) via CCDAP for automation so last night I was testing it out. Since the scope was already set up for F11.7, I did 2.5 hours of lum on M104 (Sombrero).

As anyone who's imaged this knows, it's quite a small target and needs focal length so I may not bother adding more to this until my RC360 arrives.

Anyway, it came out well in spite of very average seeing and it's quite deep so I was able to show the larger extent of the halo.

Cheers, Marcus
