Description

I finally had a chance to return to the Sombrero galaxy that I caught a glimpse of one late night a long, long time ago. The guiding acted up a bit with 1" RMS error, but I managed to get quite a few really good stackable frames. I would have gotten more, but it was dropping quite fast and the HFR and star count made it clear I had to stop the session when it hit about 37 degrees altitude. The data was very easy to work with and the details came out very willingly.
