(Not) M104 season
If you happen to live anywhere near Sydney....you'll know about the weather. ( Mike's re-pro inspired me  )
Some quite old plus a teeny bit of newer STX data in this one...
Anyway here it is

Silky smooth Peter. Very aesthetic. What grabs me is the nucleus glow through the dusty arm. Top shelf.

Thanks H, Jase 
But an exercise in frustration 'methinks. More a re-pro than new data.
Some great gear literally getting cobwebs on it here.... sigh...

Re the image - the stars are very tight, I actually pasted the more blobby stars back in for my recent close up as I think the decond stars can look a bit harsh. No offense intended Peter but this presenation looks more like a coloured charcoal drawing rather than a photograph or image...strange
